College Expenses for Children of Divorce and Separated Parents
Submitted by Patrick Markey on Sun, 08/08/2010 - 13:33
Child support does not always end when a child reaches 18 years of age or graduates from high school. Most Illinois family courts will order one or both parents to contribute to children’s college expenses based on their ability to pay and some other factors. Lawyers and courts refer to these proceedings as “Section 513 Petitions” named for the code of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act which provides for support of children after they are emancipated.
