Legal Question in Family Law in New York
Share College costs
CIRCUMSTANCES:
Petitioner is requesting the respondent share in the college education costs of our child. My child support obligation had
terminated as all child support obligations had been met per the Utah divorce decree as my son turned 18-years of age and
graduated High School. My divorce decree has no provisions nor any stipulation of college cost settlement in the divorce
agreement/child support ordering to pay/share in any kind of college expenses. Nor no amendments or adjustments had been
granted to the acting Utah divorce decree.
OBJECTIVE:
I'd like the standing summons support non-resident ordered 5 Dec, 2007 to be descended and have a new order to specifically
state by the statue of the law of Utah acting divorce decree that no college cost will be granted nor additional child support cost be ordered as the existing/acting divorce decree stands as is per the acting divorce decree. If this is not
suitable, request the petitioner file in the state of Utah whereas the original divorce decree had been granted and sealed.
Let me know if there is any Lawyer willing to take case. This will need to be local to Syracuse, NY.

Re: Share College costs
So do I have this right?
What you are saying is that you will not contribute to the college expenses of your own child but your ex spouse should bear 100% of the burden?
My guess is you never went to college as you obviously do not recognize how important it is to support your child who wants to go to college or how important this education is to your child's future welfare.
If you did, you would WILLINGLY contribute your FAIR share as best you could no matter what your divorce decree states.
