WA state child custody laws, non custody father's responsibility for post secondary education support

If there is a court order for payment of post secondary education support, then the ordered parent would have to pay.

If the most current child support order does not contain a provision ordering post secondary education support, the custodial parent may petition the court. Generally, the petition must be filed and served before the child is 18.

The custodial parent should review her facts and options with an attorney.
