I have been divorced for 14 years. I have custody of my son. Is there any way I can legally make my ex help pay for his college education?

College support is a very complicated area, and difficult to explain via email. The "short" answer is that your son can file an action to have the Court determine how much each of you are to contribute toward his college expenses.

These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
