Post Secondary Education

For more than twenty years, Washington Courts recognized the principle that the law may require separated and divorced parents to contribute toward their children’s college, university or trade school expenses.  As more and more children continue their educations after high school, courts are frequently called on to obligate parents to contribute costs of tuition, room and board and books up to the  age of 23.

Many parents do not pursue these contributions timely and their children are denied further education or are left to borrow substantial funds, which they are saddled with after graduation.

Make sure that you contact a lawyer with experience in this area of law well before your son or daughter turns 18 and finishes High School.  We are well versed in this area of law and can make sure you are not jeopardizing your child’s future.
