WSJ Article on Sorority Dues and Child Support
I don't know who reads The Wall Street Journal on this board, but I found an article about how divorced parents in some juristictions are shelliong out money for the entire college experience. This is because in some states, child support extends beyond age 18. In at least 16 states, divorce court judges are allowed to direct parents to pay their kids' college tuition. In most cases, it means tuition/living expenses. However, some other places it is extended to other things, including clothes (Virginia) and GLO dues (Mississippi). In a recent case in Iowa, the state Supreme Court decided that college isn't just about classroom learning, but also a cultural experience, which will cost more for students.
What do people think? Should parents be responsible to help their kids with their GLO dues?
