Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts
My parents were going through a divorce from 2003-2005. I was a freshman/sophomore in college at the time and 18 years old. I know my parents took out a loan to pay for my freshman year and it was in their divorce agreement to pay 50/50 for that loan. I find it hard to believe that a Massachusetts judge would have overlooked the costs of the remaining 3 years of my undergrad in my parents divorce. Needless to say after graduating in 2007 with honors i could not find a suitable job to pay the bills and actually returned to school in 2009. Here i am years later about to give birth to my 2nd child and cannot afford to keep working and put both children in daycare NEVERMIND pay for all of my student loans. would my parents have been obligated to contribute some money to my college expenses in their divorce agreement? HELP!

They're only required to contribute exactly as specified in the Divorce Agreement/Judgment. Nonetheless, as you were not a party to that divorce, you will have a difficult time trying to find recourse against either one of them.
