[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being married or divorced has nothing to do with paying for college[/quote]

Yes it does. When you're married, you're much more likely to cooperate about how much each parent should be compared to when you're divorced.[/quote]

Because it’s not your kid anymore if you divorce your spouse?[/quote]

No, because when you're married, finances for both parents are easier (they are sharing a home rather than paying for two homes), there is no feeling (or much less feeling) of anger about who pays what (as opposed to divorce when one party thinks they're paying too much and the other party thinks they're not receiving enough), and last but not least, when you're married you are partners working for each other's mutual benefit - everyone can be a winner - whereas when you're divorced you are adversaries and there is a winner and a loser.[/quote]

Not all divorces are adversaries with no winners and no losers. Some want the best for the kids and continue to be 50/50. I suspect those that were never 50/50 are the ones with an issue, when 1 person expects the other person to continue to foot the bill 100%. [/quote]

Not true. My ex still insists on son staying with him 50% although we fight over all expenses . He infect threatens son that if he moves 100% to me then dad won’t pay for the late year of private school. He uses lack of certain provisions in MSA to enforce custody schedule [/quote]
