Family Law Question
"Chris" wrote in message ... Well technically post-17 money paid is support for an adult child attending school. But in practice it really is child support in my state because the money is paid directly to the post-17 student. What "child" is being supported by the money? The child of divorced, separated, or never married parents between the ages of 18 to 21 who meets the statutory requirements in the law of a child attending school. My comment above points out one of the absurdities in how this law gets implemented. The CS scales are based on care and maintenance of minor children and yet they are used for establishing an adult child education support order. No consideration is given to the actual cost of a child's advanced education expenses. The danger to fathers who might argue a rebuttal to the CS guideline because the underlying factors do not apply is the CS order amount could exceed the guidelines. The other factor I find absurd is the adult children have the option to hire an attorney, join the lawsuit, and get an order against both parents. Most students I know are focused on advancing their education and not on fighting legal battles with their parents. |
