Answer
Once you are no longer a minor your parents owe you nothing. You're on your own. No, you can't sue them for a darn thing! Funny, kids in their teens can hardly wait until they get older so they think they can be independent and when they get there they don't like it. Guess what ... you're there!
I have no idea if your parents ever promised to pay for your college or if they didn't like the college you picked or you're goofing off in college. Only you have the answer to that. You'll lose all the way down the line anyway, because ....
If you took it upon yourself to think that your parents would automatically just pay for your college (extremely expensive) then you took too much for granted. If they don't agree with the college you are going to and refuse to pay then just like a lot of other college students ... get a job! It can be done and I know many college students who work two jobs, go to college, study and pass. If you're goofing off in college do the college a favor and leave so it gives someone else who is serious about getting an education an opportunity to warm the seat you had.
AnswerYou cant, but i believe that you should be able to. My parents havent financially supported me since i was 15 and i am estranged from both of them. Im going to find it extremely hard to get to university with no support but i will remember not to be a bad parent to my children in the future. The struggle makes you stronger.
AnswerThe short answer is: In the United States no .
However, if a parent is responsible for child support the custodial parent can go to court are REQUEST that the non custodial parent pay a portion of the college costs up to age 23 (varies by state) but that is a case by case basis and in no way a mandate of law. If the non custodial parent does not have the means to pay you are out of luck.
Again, generally after age 18, in the U.S. you are on your own financially (barring physical or mental incapacitation).
The good news is you are qualified for all types of student loans and grants. Pay for your own college tuition, you'll most likely do better in class if you are paying for it yourself besides you will have more self pride as well. Consult another lawyer and you will get the same answer.
Consider this FREE legal advise.
For the poster above from CANADA:
There are no states in North America that have a provision that require a parent to pay child support directly to an 18 year or older college student or non-college student. The person from CANADA that made that inference is 100% incorrect.The fact that you personally disagree with the laws in this country is irrelevant. It is what it is. Parents have to willfully pay living and educational costs for children after legal emancipation, plain and simple.
If an 18 year old wants to be independent from his/her parents they get the whole ball of wax here, including financial self responsibility. You can't have it both ways.
No.
You must be enrolled in the college/university to be eligible to play on their teams.
The new law regarding the parent's children UNDER AGE 26 does not say that the "child" must be in college. Whether a "child" can stay on the parent's plan depends on the choice of the parents and whether the "child" is financially dependent upon the parents.
Yes. For I am he.
Go to your college financial aid offices and they will tell you how. If you are not accepted or enrolled in a college you have to wait until you are. Usually part of the enrollment packet includes financial aid information and forms. If you are still being supported by your parents they also have to include financial information on the forms.
Of course, he does! The kid still needs housing and food during summer break. If the student is not enrolled for six months or more, go back to court for a reduction. Do not amend the agreement on your own.
There are many different accounts available to students in the United States. One typically is assigned a free student account at the student's college website once they are enrolled and accepted.
In the US, unfortunately no.
Most just require a copy of the students schedule showing they are enrolled full time
If a college or university, you can obtain that information from the Office of the Bursar (sometimes referred to as Student Accounts), at he school your daughter or son is enrolled.
I believe most policies provide that you can stay on a parents' policy as long as you're enrolled as a student (I'm not sure whether part or full time).
A commuting student (as compared to a resident student) lives off campus (frequently with parents) and commutes to college or university.
