A: Greetings:

She will have to show through her grades that she has the academical aptitude and attitude to achieve a degree and that she need your assistance to achieve those goals. She will have to provide the proper evidence to the court. You will have to pay until she reaches the age of 25 or finished college based on the path and career she chooses. There's precedent that can affect this specific situation depending on her career goals and education given that she proves to be an exceptional student.

If you have any other questions or need help, please feel free to contact us directly and we will be glad to be at your service.
