Charlotte,

All states have some type of residency requirement for divorce. This requirement varies from state to state. If a person has not met the requirement, then either the petition for divorce will not be filed, or the divorce action will be dismissed. Here is a link to information about residency requirements for each state:

Can someone file for divorce in a county that they do NOT live in and have not live in? If not, what does that do to the divorce?

Mylene,

I can appreciate that you are in a difficult situation. Before you make any snap decisions, take some time and think about what you want. Do either of you want a divorce? Are you willing to go for counseling?

If you decide that you want to end your marriage, then I would suggest that you contact a family law attorney to discuss your situation.

Sue,

In general terms, child support is payable until the child reaches the age of majority or is finished school. The payments may continue past the age of majority is the child in question is diabled or if the noncustodial parent owes back child support. In the latter case, payments will continue until the debt is paid in full.

Roseann,

In many states, there is no law directing that parents must provide financial support for a child attending college. Whether or not your ex can be made to contribute would depend on where you live and the language contained in your divorce decree or divorce agreement. A qualified divorce attorney can review your situation with you and advise whether it is possible to get him to contribute to your daughter's post-secondary education.

Would like to know if my ex is liable to help pay for some of my daughters college tuition even though he did not say she could go to college as he stated in court.
