Columbus, GA asked in Divorce and Child Support for Georgia

Q: When my husband divorced, he agreed to pay half of college. If his son, who is almost 26, has gone to 3 colleges.

He has yet graduated, keeps failing classes, changed majors. How long is my husband required to continue paying a bill that will never end. His son is working, but his mother doesn’t force him to pay his bills after he moved out. He uses his money to travel to Cal or Japan. Please help. They divorced in Alabama but both parents live in Ga now.

A: We would need to know what the order states so that we can provide you with guidance. You should take it to an attorney for a consultation so you can get clarification. Meeting with an attorney may prove to be cheaper than paying continuously for this.
