I have a question about support for College students by non custodial parent.?
Question:
If you have some solid advice to help us make sure we aren't paying too much (she has a 100% scholarship plus other graduation scholarships). We'd be most appreciative.
Answer:
Ok, since most of the bill will be paid by scholarships then there should be little, if any, out of pocket expenses. Inform mom that you want an itemized billing of the total legit out of pocket expenses and you guys will send her a check for half of that amount as per agreement. Tell her to include the ttal bill including all an any scholarships and what they exactly pay for. Tell his daughter to write to you guys only if she runs into financial trouble and needs money and that you guys will deal with seperate from her mom. The scholarships will definitely help bring down college expenses and also rquest a current grade sheet to forsee any upcoming problems with the scholarships due to falling required grades. Good luck
Let the girl decide then split the bill..which may not be much after scholarships...
If the financial aspect of it gets to be too much your hubby could refuse to pay and then mom would have to file a contempt charge..leaving it up to a judge to decide what 'reasonable' is. He must have had a crappy attorney, a court order like that lends itself to abuse.
Check out the university's webpage..there should be details about how much room and board are. Ask for receipts from the bookstore when she purchases her books, go with her to purchase them, or order them online. Aside from that there shouldn't be any other college expenses. Also, pay these costs directly to the school. GL!
