Default 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.
