I'm the non-custodial parent of 2 children and pay child support. My oldest is in college and I'm required to pay for college along with my ex. I'm not able to financially afford paying for college, but I'm not opposed to helping in other ways to help with some expenses. If my ex and I were still married, I'm not sure that we would've still helped to pay all the college expenses. My oldest is required to take a loan out for part of her private schooling, but my ex and I are to split the remainder. Why is it that divorced parents are required to pay for college, but as a married couple the law wouldn't require us to pay for college? I've talked to many "married" couples who have not paid for a dime of their child's college nor feel that it is an obligation of being a parent to do so. Frustrated in Indiana.
