Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
parent responsibility for child's college tuition
Can the non-custodial parent be made to shoulder some of the responsibility for the child's college tuition so that it does not all fall on the child and custodial parent?

The parents share the responsibility to provide for college education to an unemancipated offspring, to the extent that each is financially capable.

Re: parent responsibility for child's college tuition
Divorced parents are required to pay for their child's college costs, in accordance with their ability to pay, subject to reasonable contributions from the child and any grants, loans, etc. that may be available. Keep in mind that this advice is based purely on the little bit of information that you have given to me. There certainly may be other factors that would change my opinion. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. Since it appears that you have not retained an attorney, you may want to contact an attorney (either me or someone else) to discuss your matter in more detail. Only then will you be able to rely on the advice. If you call me, [856-546-8010] mention Law Guru and your first one hour consultation will be free. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
