[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]You’ll have to pay 1/2 or the college tuition as well.[/b] Colleges look at the sum of income to determine need. If your exDH has all the money he will call all the shots, I’d take it as the “gotcha”. Also I understand you feel you need OUT. I just wish there was infidelity or some other reason I could support you leaving, as it is, I think you’ll regret it after the fog clears, especially if you’re 60 and broke and he’s living it up with his new wife (who’d live to be a sahw traveling with her new man)[/quote]

DP  is there a law saying that all parents have to pay for college that I missed?  Did you see the last post about the person who paid for their college?  If you can't afford it I don't see how anyone can force you to pay for anything extra, which is what college is ( although we will pay for our kids)  food, clothing, roof over their heads but once you are 18 not sure legally what parents owe you.[/quote]

This might backfire on OP.  I had a friend who this happened to at age 55--his SAH DW decided to cash in her chips when the kids were 17 and 15.  She got half the assets, and bought her own house with the money.  She still doesn't work, she's living off alimony and the remnants of the 401k.

My friend told his kids, "Sorry, no college for you.  Mommy took all the money."
