Legal Question in Family Law in Alabama

In order to adequately answer the question, one would have to know a few more details. Was the order of post minority support based on an agreement or on the trial court's order? What evidence was introduced to support the expenses ordered? What is the financial circumstance of each party?

Generally, if you agree to it, you're stuck doing it. If you don't agree to it, the trial court may award pretty much any reasonable expenses associated with the child's pursuit of their education. This can certainly extend to gas, food, and lodging.

However, there are limits to what the court can order. The court must take the financial circumstances of the parties into account. The court must also take the child educational progress into account. The court must base its conclusion on actual evidence of the necessary expenses.

I would suggest you locate an attorney as quickly as possible and go over the order with them to get more specific answers tailored to your exact situation.

Good luck.
