At Langer & Langer we know selecting and paying for a child’s college education can be a daunting task, which becomes all the more complicated when you are trying to make these decisions with an ex-spouse or ex-partner. Under Indiana Law, a court can enter educational support orders that require parents to contribute to their child’s college expenses.
Any modification to a child support agreement is best accomplished with the assistance of a skilled family law attorney. Our experienced child support lawyers can guide you through the process of petitioning the court, ensuring that you present the strongest argument for tuition contributions.
When a court is determining whether to order parents to contribute to a child’s college expenses, considerations include:
Once a court has established a legal duty to support a child through a court order, either parent may request a contribution to their child’s college expenses. Generally speaking, a petition for contribution to educational expenses must be on file prior to the child’s 19th birthday. However, if the duty to support a child was established through a court order prior to June 30, 2012, a petition for educational needs must be filed prior to the child’s 21st birthday.
