Legal Question in Family Law in New York

Paying for College?

In my divorce decree it states �child support obligation will continue until the minor child reaches the age of majority� if the child has not completed high school support will continue until she graduates high school, or reaches the age of 19, whichever is first.� Do I have any legal grounds to make my ex pay 50% of my daughter�s college? It was not agreed to prior to the divorce, and the decree does say that support will stop by the age of 19.

Re: Paying for College?

No. Unfortunately, based on your question, you do not have legal grounds to force your ex to pay 50% of the college expenses.
