I read specifically that there was case law after '91- I think '94...
We were told we could get college expenses ALONG with CS, but only to the age of 21 unless agreed to by both parents.
njp---
Everything I find seems to point to the fact that in NJ CS ends at "emancipation", but emancipation means that the child is self supporting. A FT college student is not self supporting. In general- emancipation may occur upon a child reaching majority, upon the child's graduation from secondary education, upon the child's entry into the armed forces, upon the child's marriage, upon the child's graduation from post secondary or even graduate school, or at any other time that the Court believes the child is expected to be self-supporting.
Does your original divorce decree/CO mention leaving the Mother's Residence as a form of emancipation?
Apparently in NJ CS can be paid by the NCP until the child is through there secondary education. Sad. I see nothing that states that the CP should also give financially towards the child since the CP is still considered the CP.

Does your daughter have a job and does she claim herself on her income tax return? I read a little NJ code and if she's 'self supporting' (or capable of it) then she can be emancipated (hopefully even if she doesn't like it) and then you can petition for no CS.

She has a job but only works part-time hours except for the summer or recently when she dropped out last semester(now registered this semester coming up). She has been dropping in and out of college that is why she is 23 years old, still an undergraduate with one more year (supposedly) to graduate. I beleive but do not know for sure , if she claims herself on her tax returns. Her mother made sure she thought of everything. I think the ONLY way to get her to garduate is to get her mother, my ex, to pay for child support or college expenses. Then she will be on my daughter to finish college yesterday.. Thnkas for the info. I will look into that also.

"The predictability of women is staggering. Not a shred of ethics or personal responsibility."
I'd say that's a bit general considering you can not possibly know every woman in the world personally. That would be like me reading the bitter posts of some of the men on this board and assuming that every man is a as much of an idiot as the ones who were stupid enough to marry someone who would screw them over. I, however, know that to be false since my x was smart enough to marry someone with a sense of self worth, who wouldn't be caught dead letting herself be supported by someone else. I bet there are other women on the board who can say the exact same thing.

It's not my opinion. It's a hard fact published by the IRS. 96% of all alimony is collected by women. When that changes, I may begin to consider your little anecdote. Until then women are factually the leeches of society. Maybe have a chat with your leech sisters and see if you can get that percentage down below 96% before you try to defend these useless "entitlement princess" leeches.

Yes but how many women are collecting alimony? 1%?
Its not like the whole population is surviving off alimony. Most divorced people I have known paid/received none.
