Re: College expenses
Generally, divorced parents are responsible for costs up to the first college degree or vocational eductaion but not advanced degrees and programs. However, parents not divorced can choose whether they wish to invest their money in their child's education.
If your son or daughter has moved out, become employed full time for a year or more, it is not likely you would be held responsible. Yet, each case is different and all the facts would need to be known before a solid call could be made.
