Legal Question in Family Law in Iowa

cost of post secondary education and divorce

My son and daughter are graduating high school. Their father and I now live in Iowa but we were divorced in Florida. The divorce makes no provisions for paying for college and the father has just filed a law suit demanding that I pay 1/3 of their college expenses-I cannot afford an attorney-am I liable for their education costs?

Unless you want to be saddled with this you had best find yourself some sort of legal representation.
