If I have 2 children who have graduated high school and are both college bound with tuition, how do I pursue continued support from the non-custodial parent?
I had to take out a loan for 1 of them. State child support sent a letter stating that there support will end.

It is not automatice. Unless otherwise agreed to, support generally ends when the child meets majority (18 or 19 and graduated from high school) or what ever else you agreed to in a settlement agreement if you were married. However, Illinois is one of those states where judges can indeed order support through college and college expenses. Seek legal help. Good luck.
