Re: court decision

Mr. Gleaner is right on. If it makes sense money-wise, you should fight this.

College payments for graduate school

Not necessarily so. Divorced parents are obligated to pay for their child's post-high school education in accordance with their respective abilities to pay, subject to reasonable contributions by the child. And child support may be required to continue, also depending on the facts of each case.

Finally, a parent may also be obligated to pay for graduate school depending on many factors, including whether a Court believes same would have been paid for if the parties had remained together as an intact couple and also depending on the ability of the parents to pay for same. A careful analysis of all factors must be made in order to determine a strategy.

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!
