College payment:
Just received the grades for my daughters 07 and 08 school year. In the fall of 07 she actually took ten (10) semester hours, with a GPA of 2.20. Academic probation occurs when a student has a GPA of 2 or below she also changed her major in the spring of 08.
According to Illinois law, I believe that to be considered a full time student, one must be taking a minimum of twelve (12) semester hours, other wise they are considered a part time student, and the parent in question cannot and should not be held responsible for paying for college. Given the fact that she took ten (10) hour instead of twelve and did so poorly can I terminate payment for college? Answers (4)Peter LaSorsa

You would need to have an attorney review your dissolution of marriage judgement and see what exactly the terms are. If you stop paying and a judge doesn't agree with your position you may have a problem. The best course is to hire an attorney and find out your rights after your judgment is reviewed.

In Illinois the payment for post majority expenses ( college) is not required as in the case of child support. Please check to make sure that you are court order to pay these expenses.
In the event you are ordered to pay for college I would review your order to see what conditions are listed as a prerequisite to have these expenses paid for. In the orders I preprare we have a grade average listed as well as the part/full time student, which if not met is a basis to have the order reviewed. If your order does not contain a provision regarding grades then the answer to your question would be "no". The law that controls these expenses is 750 ILCS 5/513. This statute does not require the adult to be a full time student.
