Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts
I am ordered by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to pay 50% of my son's college tuition in addition to child support. I am not the custodial parent. Am I responsible for paying college application fees or is it the custodial parent's responsibility.
Thank you!

It depends on the language in the agreement. If the language includes those fees specifically or is broad enough to encompass them, then yes. If not, then no.

It depends on the terms of your divorce judgment. Generally, such separation agreements provide for the parents to share the cost of a college education. If there is no requirement in the separation agreement, you may not be obligated to pay for your child's education.
