Default Family Law Question

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.

Default Family Law Question

Read HOW TO MINIMIZE SUPPORT. OFTEN THE CHILD AND BOTH PARENTS HAVE TO PAY
EQUALLY. THE CHILD IS EXPECTED TO GET STUDENT LOANS AND A JOB. WHEN THE
AMOUNT OF MONEY TO Be PAID PER MONTH FOR COLLEGE EXPENSES IS NOT SPECIFIED
IN THE ORIGINAL CHILD SUPPORT AGREEMENT IT MUST BE" REASONABLE" AS REQUIRED
BY CONTRACT LAW.OFTEN IT IS LIMITED TO TUITION AT A STATE SCHOOL WITH THE
CHILD AND EACH PARENT PAYING 1/3.See http://www.lowersupport.com THE KID
CAN GO INTO THE RESERVES AND GET A LOT OF TUITION AID. HE CAN'T JUST SIT ON
HIS BUTT AND PARTY .
