[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, where are you hearing this stuff about having to only cover 1/2 of college?  Once the kids are 18, no one is legally required to pay for them to go to college, unless you've both agreed to do so in the form of a divorce decree.  A judge isn't going to make someone do that.

A friend of mine has one son in his last year of college and a daughter in her final year of high school.  They paid for their sons tuition, but last summer her DH decided to leave her for his 25 year old coworker, who has small children.  DH is refusing to pay another penny for either child for school, and legally she can't force it.  She's tried.

Granted, both kids loathe their father now, but that anger doesn't help them pay the tuition bills. [/quote]

[b]This. Neither parent has any obligation to pay for college after the kids are 18. You can get this entered into the separation agreement, though, and I did. XDH only agreed to pay about $10k a year, however, and that was after a lot of arm twisting from me and guilt after he made DD cry by telling her she’d have to leave her USNWR top 5 school where she was a junior. We had some 529 savings and my mom and I made up the rest, which was substantial. DD still barely has anything to do with XDH[/b].[/quote]

So was your ex involved beforehand as in 50:50 split of custody or could see them every other weekend etc ?

When XDH left, older DC was already in college and younger DS was a junior in high school. We let younger DS choose his living arrangements and he choose to live with me for 95% of his senior year of high school. [/quote]
