I'd like opinions on post secondary expense and CS.
Let's assume that post secondary is paid 2/3 by parents (all costs including room and board), and that 2/3 is split according to income.
What's the deal with paying CS and paying for post secondary when the child is away from home?
Is it acceptable that CS be reduced during that time? Is this supported by the courts?
What if the child does not return home for the summer? That would mean they would be away for almost 2 years.
I want to review that section of my SA before I sign it - I have 3 kids and they live equally with their parents (I pay offset CS). I expect they'll all go to university and not live at home during that time.
It seems odd to pay full (offset) CS for a child that does not live at home full time.
I have seen some talk here about CS going to the child directly, reducing CS etc.
Thoughts?
