A: From my experience as a lawyer who has worked in the divorce field for 50 plus years, it is my opinion that the SAT prep cost would NOT be child support. However, many things in divorce law are gray (instead of either black or white), and this is something that may need to be determined by a judge. I think it is fair to say that your question is a college expense contribution issue, as opposed to a "what is included in child support" question.
