Many people
are unaware of the concept of continuing
support beyond a child’s eighteenth
birthday, graduation from high school, or
otherwise requiring the parents to contribute
to the child’s college education. It is
important to consider the child(ren)’s
post-secondary educational needs well in
advance of deadlines for college registration
and tuition payments. Often post secondary
support can be set based on a particular
college’s tuition and/or the
parents’ proportion of income.
Provisions requiring proof of grades and
tuition receipts may also be included in a
Child Support Order. There are many ways to
structure a parent’s contributions to
college education and we can help you explore
your options.
It is
important to remember that you must make a
formal court request for post-secondary
educlation support before the underlying
obligation of support terminates.
