Dad doesn't pay child support or help pay for 40k a year college....?

Question

I understand that he doesn't have to pay child support after I turned 18 (a few weeks ago) but he doesn't pay single penny for my school either. Is there any way to get money from him through the legal system?

Answer 1

No, you can get a student loan or a grant, or even a job to help pay.

Answer 2

it sounds like your father has scammed your mom for years, she could have gotten a lot more then grocery money and bill payment had she divorced him sooner. Your mom should talk to a lawyer while you are still under age, he might even have to pay child support for your sister in college until she is 24 (depends on the state.) She will be given the house, especially if he doesn't live there.

Answer 3

In your defense I would like to say that it's not a matter of growing up, that is what parents are for and should be willing to do. It's sad that your dad won't assist you in paying for school but he doesn't have too. I have heard of many people getting child support extended though for reasons just like this. My first year in college a friend was getting child support until she turned 21. I don't know if that would apply here though. Contact a local lawyer most consultations are free and ask some questions. Sorry to hear about the situation, college can be a large thing to try to take on alone

Answer 4

In plenty of places support continues if you are under 21 and in school. If you are still living with your mother, she can seek continued support and often times what is called "special or extraordinary expenses" from him if she is contributing a share of your education expenses. When you are younger special expenses can be dance lessons or day care, and when older it can mean tuition.

Answer 5

In some states it's 21 if your still in school, but , on a whole your going to college by choice and it is not up to him to pay for it. Only if he wants to.

Answer 6

it's how your parents had their agreement set up, i'm a sr in college and my dad still has to pay. My parents had the agreement that he would pay as long as me or my sister were in college . You could legally, but by legally it would be contract, you can't force him to.



.....btw, i don't see any of the money really, the checks are still written out to my mom, the court said he couldn't write the check to me

Answer 7

Depends on the state in NY he has to help until you are 21 or graduate college.

Answer 8

Nope, once you are over 18 your parents are not obligated to give you a dime. In fact, you could be living on the street in a cardboard box and they wouldn't legally have to give you any help. Sorry.

Answer 9

Nope parents have no obligation under the law to pay for college.



What kind of college are you attending for 40k a year anyway? geez.

Answer 10

College is your responsibility, not his. Grow up and handle your own college needs instead of expecting someone to hand it to you.

Answer 11

This is the man your mother chose, speak to her about the choice, make better ones for yourself.

Answer 12

WRONG; in most states... Child Support continues til the child is done college, PLUS he has to pay part of the costs of college as well.



you need to file a motion (call the county court clerks office) and ask where/how to file (they walk you through it all).



make sure you bring your college enrollment and college costs papers to court for proof.
