Depends on what your divorce judgement says. If you only pay child support till girls are 18or19 or emancipated. That's it. Let your X try. It will only cost her $$ in the court. In Colorado, law states a parent is not obligated to provide an emancipated child a college education. Sounds like your X and the lazy students in ? need to re-evaluate their value system. If there was no language in your divorce decree to make aggrangements for college support. Oh well--they need to "get a Job" Time for dad to go do something for DAD!

Once they turn 18 I don't think you have to pay. If what you say is true the court will see it the right way but you have to have all your facts and not go on hearsay and your feelings. You have to have proof of the things that they do and whom they are living with.

toddler help is to grant money to look after a teenager. that actual ability till they are by using intense college. college scholars ARE adults. no one is had to pay for college. it rather is super if mothers and dads help, yet no longer something demands it. I doubt you additionally could make him pay. it is his decision. Legally, the place could YOU draw a line? could a determine to in charge for their little ones forever? How approximately those "little ones" who stay scholars for years and years and years- changing majors 6-10 circumstances? Or, a toddler that comes to a decision to start college at 21? Or 30? needless to say, there is a few shrink. Our society has set it at 18, or by using intense college. What do you think approximately person? EDIT EDIT EDIT woman, I examine your replace. you're offended at your ex. it is high quality, and wide-spread. yet, you could no longer rework you being offended right into a criminal criminal accountability. no rely how plenty he makes, what he does for his step young little ones, or what he claims in church. you're saying you probably did no longer push for greater help- your decision. curiously, he did pay help as ordered by using the court docket. After help ended, his criminal responsibilities ended. Ya are not getting to retroactively create an criminal accountability after his help ended- no rely how miffed you're. might I ask merely what united states of america you reside in? everywhere in the U. S., 18 IS the age of majority. the U. S. government does not count quantity 18years+ as little ones.
