[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone please cite any source showing that agreements to share college costs are unenforceable? I’m a lawyer, but not a divorce lawyer. Any contract that isn’t illegal or unconscionable is enforceable. I don’t see any reason why divorcing parents couldn’t enter into an enforceable agreement to pay for college.[/quote] The people saying this are confusing child support with financial settlements and division of marital assets. In some states child support ends at 18 so you can’t go for college costs as part of child support. Other states go through 21 and have ordered college costs to be included. And you definitely can make them part of the overall financial settlement (not child support) and create and enforceable agreement if drafted correctly. As a PP mentioned the gold standard would be to create a trust so the money is there in an account that can only be used for college for that child. [/quote]
