Who will pay for college can be a complicated question for separated, divorced, and divorced parents. There is typically no legal obligation to pay when your family is not involved with the probate and family court. However, the court may order you to contribute when you are divorced or going through a divorce.

Vesta created this two-part series to prepare you for the next stage of your child’s life. Designed to stand alone; however, we encourage you to attend both for a clearer understanding of the process.

The first presentation focused on issues to consider when you are going through a divorce and are planning for your children to attend college. The second presentation will focus on issues to consider post-divorce or when your children are in college.

Part 2: Post-Divorce College Issues

• If you are divorced and did not address the kids’ college in your divorce agreement, are there steps you can now take to require your ex to contribute?
• If your income has decreased substantially while your ex’s income has increased since the divorce, can you take steps to require your ex to pay for a more significant proportion of the college expenses?
• What happens if a parent cannot or will not pay for college as they agreed at the time of the divorce?
• If your kids are in college, does that reduce the amount of child support that you are required to pay/entitled to receive?
• What happens if my child follows a less traditional path for post-secondary education?
• What are college education tax benefits available?
• How to avoid traps with your ex-spouse while going through the process?

Speakers:

• Molly Chung, Divorce Attorney
• Michael Schreiber, Financial Advisor
