Divorce Decree and college education in Indiana
Divorce decree states parents will assist children equally with college education. It doesn't specifically say they pay 50% each of the college tuition, room, board, books etc. Does anyone know what exactly assist means. I assume it means each parent pays half of the costs. There is no mention of the child taking loans or anything. The father stopped paying child support when child graduated from high school and hasn't paid anything towards college. The mother told the child he had to get loans that he had no other choice and hasn't contributed anything towards the child's education. This child is now in his junior year and is struggling to survive. What are the responsibilities of each parent with this type of wording in a divorce decree? Thanks
