Illinois Child support over, college support ?
My last child on child support is 18 and out of high school, child support will stop being deducted in a week or two, depends on how fast payroll gets it changed. My daughter is going to college next fall. Is there any typical college support guidelines? I want to be fair but knowing the mother, she typically thinks me paying everything, and her paying nothing, is fair. Anyway, I want to know at what point I should consult an attorney? One guy at work thinks they would do something like I pay 1/3, mom pays 1/3, and child pays 1/3. But from what I've read it includes things like your ability to pay, and I think the mother makes less than I do. My daughter is willing to take out a loan but I want to help as much as considered fair (She has older sisters that might need financial assistance). I also don't want her to have so much debt as soon as she gets out of college. My thoughts are that maybe I can buy her an economical reliable used car plus pay a good chunk of her tuition. Her mom would only have to provide room and board. Bottom line, I've paid the court ordered child support and I'm probably about $1k ahead on payments right now... I would prefer not to go to court for college support unless the mother wants me to pay what I think is too much. So I'm trying to find out what would be typical or normal. Anyone here have an idea of what might be typical in college support? If it's the same as child support it's pretty much father pays all childrens expenses plus buys mom a sport car. RogerN |
