Sussex County Child Support Attorneys
Am I obligated to pay for my child's college expenses? Can I compel my former spouse to share in the cost of our child's college costs? At the law offices of Morris, Downing & Sherred, our child support attorneys can help you answer these questions so you know what to expect when your children enter college.
Paying for College Expenses
In New Jersey, a parent's obligation to pay college expenses is determined by several factors, some of which include whether the parents, if the family was still intact, would have contributed to the costs of college, the amount of the contribution sought for college, the financial ability of the parents to pay, and the financial assets and resources of the parties. Other important factors include the child's relationship with the parent who is being asked to contribute, as well as the child's scholastic aptitude.
