My 20 yr old daughter dropped out of high school at 18 yrs of age...has now been enlisted with a two year school in Syracuse...the custodial parent is now coming after me to pay partial college tuition in addition to child support...have been divorced for 19 years, no where in any divorce paper does it say I will have to pay college...anybody have any insite on this situation?

Why is there a custodial parent for a 20 year old?

Are you still paying CS?

I believe unless it is specified in your divorce decree, you do not have to pay for college.

there is a custodial parent of a 20 yr old because it is New York State law that until 21 yrs old we pay child support..it is only now that the custodial parent believes I am making more money and wants a upward modification and wants me to help pay college fees...no problem there also if the child proved herself to be more responsible..she is in college for all the wrong reasons...X-boyfriend is there for starters and next the mother just wants her out of her house..

I always forget that about NY. :o

I believe if college was not addressed in the divorce decree, then no, it is not a requirement that you pay for it.
