In today’s economy, college expenses can be burdensome for any family, but they become even more so during divorce proceedings.
Paying college expenses can be devastating when all of a sudden there are two sets of living expenses and still only one family. Is it the parent’s duty to help with a child’s college-related expenses?
California law does not require a parent to pay for their child’s college expenses. However, it is possible for a divorcing couple to arrive at an agreement that is good for all concerned – such as setting up a savings account, a pre-paid tuition plan or determining how much each parent will contribute.
If you are wondering who will pay for your child’s college expenses, contact an experienced Orange County Family Law attorney who can help you get through this in a cooperative manner with your former spouse.
