Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
College Expense
My son is 21 and making a career of
college,i.e. no studying, just passing
with a 2.17 grade average. He thinks
he wants to go away to college, plus
he never see's me nor talks to me.
Like his mother, he thinks he
deserves it. What are my options?

You should see a lawyer and discuss emancipation.
Re: College Expense
Most judges require at least 4 courses per semester (I have seen some require 5) and at least a "C" average. Otherwise the child would be emancipated. Depending on your particular facts, you may have a chance at emancipating the child.
Keep in mind that this advice is given based on the little bit of information that you have provided in your question. My advice may change based on other information. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. You cannot rely on this advice because we have not personally met and you have not retained me as an attorney. If you have not already done so, you should immediately meet with a Family Law attorney for a full consultation before you take any further steps. You may feel free to call me to discuss this matter in more detail. If you do so, mention Law Guru and your first one hour of time will be free. Good luck!
