About paying for college, I am going to use Cincsu as an example only because she has posted in this thread.
You can not use her child as an example if you don't include SS siblings on his mothers side. Say Cincsu kicks in the difference her husband and BM can't, her SS gets a paid for education. Well, he still has two other siblings that won't be going, if BM can't afford it for him, she sure can't afford the others either. In the whole big picture of things there is no way to make everything fair. Now if he lived with them full time it might be another story.
On the other hand what if BM takes up with a Bill Gates or she buys a winning lotto ticket. She then can afford to pay for all her kids to get a higher education. What if something went south in Cincsu's life and she could no longer afford her half to send her child. Would it be expected for BM to pony for Cinsues child just because she is related to SS?
Too many what if's in life. That is why I don't like to see the courts involve themselves in college issues.
