College Expenses and Emancipation

Posted by Rick Ortiz in Spencer Williams , emancipation , Cordell Cordell, PC , college , Child Support

The law regarding the payment of college expenses by divorced parents, requirements for the submission of college documents by the child and the emancipation age of a college bound child significantly changed in Missouri in August 2007. The prior law allowed a court to order divorced parents to pay for the college expenses of their children through the age of twenty two years old. The child was obligated to provide copies of transcripts at the start of each semester and grade report at the end of each semester to each parent. If the child failed to provide the grades and transcripts, the direct child support (not the order for college expenses) could be suspended by the court. The child was obligated to complete twelve hours each semester, unless working an average of 20 hours per week in which case they needed to complete only nine credit hours each semester. A child was allowed a one time drop to only six hours of completed course credit during the eight semesters of college.
