No, but he will have to file a form showing which money of the income tax refund his his, and which is yours, they may take yours.
You don't want to ignore this, if he can help pay, he needs to. Student loans can double and triple in the amount you owe over years.
Also you will want to not mix your money in bank accounts and keep your name off any of his accounts.
