[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go to court if you don’t like your CS or whatever agreements. [/quote]

Yes, that's exactly what jerk dads tell instead of paying for college[/quote]

More importantly when you spend $50k to go to court, that's $50k you should have used to pay for your kids college.[/quote]

Look. At some point, people need to divorce if it's unhealthy. The spouses aren't martyrs. They don't need to live on the streets just so junior can go to college. And you are way off on the amount of abuse that goes on in many marriages.[/quote]

The issue here is divorced moms who are not living on the street but still think they shouldn't have to pay anything for their kids' college educations.

And "abuse" is something that's usually invented retroactively to justify a decision to divorce merely out of boredom.[/quote]

The issue here is divorced moms who are not living on the street but still think they shouldn't have to pay anything for their kids' college educations. That's your interpretation and issue. Not the thread's or even the post you were referring to about dads not paying for college.[b] [Directly responsive to many posts in the thread that contend that divorced moms who make less than divorced dads should not have to pay for college and should still get CS for kid living expenses] [/b]  [/quote]

This doesn't make sense. CS only goes up to age 18. So it would go to another child, not the one in college. So yes, I agree with them.

Besides CS is pretty low, particularly in Virginia. It's made for people in Western Virginia to be able to afford it. CS covers the cost of food, clothes, and doctor's visits and that's it in the DC area for me. It's barely anything.[/quote]

CS is through age 21 in DC. My lawyer told me parent can spend it on legitimate child expenses like travel, prorated housing with the parent when not in college etc.[/quote]
