Massachusetts College Payment Obligations
If you are going through a divorce where children are involved, you may have concerns regarding child support. You may also be under the impression that these obligations will end when your child reaches the age of 18. However, this is not necessarily true in Massachusetts. At The Law Office of John J. Hoffman, I can review your situation, and let you know what obligations you may have in regard to paying for college in divorce actions.
If you are getting a divorce and are curious about your child support obligations through college, contact me, a Dedham child support attorney, by e-mail or call 781-352-4517 to schedule a meeting.
Child Support Obligations for College-Age Children
Massachusetts law makes it obligatory for a parent who is ordered to make child support payments to continue to make child support payments while his or her child is in college. These obligations may continue up until your child reaches the age of 23.
At The Law Office of John J. Hoffman, I can meet with you to discuss what types of child support obligations you can expect following a divorce, and when you may expect your child support obligations to cease. College costs have soared in recent years, and I can work with the court to help ensure that you are not required to pay more than you can afford. You and your spouse can also determine an agreed upon amount that you can expect to pay as part of your divorce settlement agreement. Either way, as an experienced Dedham child support lawyer, I can work with you to keep your support obligations realistic.
