Q: Child support be less or more when two kids attend pvt school and one kid goes to college and the other still at home?
My ex husband makes way more than I do. We have shared 50/50 custody of my 17 years old son who is a senior in high school and my daughter in 4th grade. My ex husband pays me child support and also pays both kids private school tuition (very expensive). Will I receive less or more when my son goes off to college.
A: If the private school tuition is included in the actual court order then you may be looking at a reduction in your order just because one child's tuition will be coming off the order. You could meet with an experienced family law attorney to discuss in more detail and go over the numbers before your son is graduated and 18.
