Can You Be Ordered To Pay Child Support For College In Maine?
In other words, does the court have the ability to order you to pay college support expenses? The short answer is no!
In 1986, the case of Adams v. Adams was decided and the Maine Supreme Court ruled that there is no authority for a court to order child support for college expenses.
This doesn’t mean that the parties can’t voluntarily agree to pay for or contribute to college expenses — they just can’t be ordered by the court to do so.
