Hi everyone,
I think I read it million times everywhere that child support doesn't end at the age of 18, if child decides to get post secondary education, until they reach their first degree.
Now, let's imagine hypothetical scenario you have a kid that accepted at uni, but pursues career that you don't want him to, or just becomes a party guy, and never earns a degree. I do understand support obligations which unfortunately don't follow strict rules, like everything else in Family Law, but these are my money, and in not divorced family if you don't approve how adult kid behaves, you have some leverage. In case of a divorce if kid spends 3,000 on beer instead of books, and lives with another parent, can you do anything?
What if kid didn't go to uni right after school, but goes there before age of 22? Would child support/uni fees will start from 22, till "child" is 26-27? What if you are retired by then? Are they gonna come after your $450 a months pension?
Thank you
