[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 641644"] A divorce settlement shouldn't apply to a willful offspring demanding an education. The law in NJ is clearly tied to a non-custodial parent continuing to provide financial support to an over 18 child who is going to school full time and therefore is still dependent. It was drafted when college educations were more affordable and in response to a non custodial parent punitively denying his child a secondary education to punish the ex-spouse. in my opinion - when Caitlyn moved out BY HER OWN CHOICE - she lost her dependent status. And these parents have 5 younger kids (between them) at home and to educate. $16000 after-tax dollars per year is a huge amount of money to be court ordered to pay. I promised to pay for my kids' college education too. My difficult child floundered and we said we wouldn't pay anymore. A college education - especially at a private university - is a privilege and not a right. [/QUOTE]
