Is a child in university, with parents who are separated/divorced, responsible for a portion of his school expenses? Or are the parents responsible for all of his expenses? Please cite the law if you can. Thank you.

College expenses is decided on a case by case basis. If the child has funds in his/her name (like inheritance or trust funds), the court would likely order the them to contribute. College expenses will be based on both parties income, assets and financial ability to pay. The general trend is for courts to make parents pay for college expenses if they can afford it. Give me a call if you would like to discuss this issue further.
