Illinois State
18 year old will be going to college 30min away in the neighboring state. She will also be living on campus.
DH stopped paying support after high school graduation.
BM wants CS to start again.
DH and BM have agreed to split cost (after grants) for school.
BM sent DH email discussing school cost and told him CS needs to start again. This is an excerpt were she states that she was planning to spend his CS to pay for her half of school expense. (note how she says; I should be getting something):
"I had planned on using the support money. Im not so
sure that i agree that there should be no support...i
think i should be getting something or least taking
payments for college, insurance, phone...or whatever
out of it
I had also planned on making the college payments from
the support money..."
1. Does DH have to pay support to BM if 18 year old daughter is not living at home while attending college?
2. Can she legally use CS to pay her half of the college expense? (That would mean DH would technically be paying for all of it then.)
