Re: Hello
You can file for a modification of child support. If your daughter does not live at home, you can file to emancipate her. You can help your daughter on your own after that.
Re: Hello
Probably not unless your daughter does not live at home during breaks. However, if ther is nto an order that provides for college expenses, you can petition for that, and the court will lower the child support and order both parents to contribute for college expenses, and that would be a more direct manner in which to pay for the college expenses.
