        They were so kind and caring throughout the whole experience. Walked with me through everything. They made a difficult and painful time more. I would recommend them to in a heartbeat. Best decision about the divorce I made.

        Was a real advocate for me while going through my divorce. Responded to emails and calls promptly and guided me through the entire process. Fair, responsive and frankly a light during a tough time.

        Question:

        What Should I Know About College Tuition in Regards to Child Support?

        Answer:

        If a judgment of divorce is silent to college expenses for one’s child or children, the parent may want to consider going to family court, filing a modification petition, and requesting that the judge require the parent’s ex-spouse or the other parent of the child to pay for college expenses. The key is demonstrating a recent and substantial change in circumstances, such as the sudden effect that college tuition and student loan repayment will have on the parent’s expenses.The parent should make sure to inform the judge that the child has not yet gone to college, but will matriculate in the near future. If the child is currently in college, however, the late filing date of the petition will prove a risk. From the date that the petition is filed, the judge may make an award from that day forward. This ruling will not necessarily result in reimbursement for any college semesters already completed; it will apply only to any tuition expenses that are incurred due to enrollment after the date of the ruling.
