Legal Question in Family Law in California

I am divorsed in the State of California since 2000. At that time, our dissolution says that each of us agree to put aside $400.00 per month for our child's college education.

Since that time, I had a failed business and filed bankruptcy in 2009 in which my savings were frozen and absorbed by the courts. Due to lower income and cost of living expense as well as paying child support in the sum of $600.00 a month for 14 years, I have not been able to save.

Can I be forced by a judge to pay for my daughter's college education?

You should contact your bankruptcy attorney to see if the debt was listed in your petition. If it is, you're ok. If it isn't, you should further talk to your attorney about the possibility of reopening the bankruptcy to include this debt.
