What's a "NJ"?
I'm no expert on divorce, but college is usually after age 18 so it seems to me there would be no legal obligation related to college at all. You can chip in whatever you want, the kids can cover the rest somehow and if mom doesn't want to help that's between her and the kids.
But I can't see how either of you could be forced to pay for college by a court.
