I don't have any specific numbers, but we have a growing population of people with us who are going to school later in life and as a result are parents, whether fairly new or having children in high school/college already. There is probaly a greater number of parents, single parents, single mom's going to school online these days. Due to the quality and flexibility online or distance learning can provide. Just like www.fmuonline.com
About 43% of children in Louisiana live in a single parent household.
A legacy would be someone whose parent attended that school or belonged to that fraternity/sorority/club.
Several biographies of Dan Rather state that neither parent attended college, and in fact his father never graduated from high school.
Can the custodial parent ask for child support for her children past the age of 18 if the children are full time college students?
Probably - the support is owed to the obligee (i.e., other parent and/or State), not to the children.
Student status will not exempt you from paying support. However, support is based on a percentage of net income.
There are many options for a single parent in college. A great benefit is being able to receive financial aid for being both in college, and a single parent.
A single parent family is a type of family with only one parent present with either a blood related child/children or an adopted one.
It is easier to get into college if your parent's have gone to that specific college because you would be a legacy there. Other than that, it does not really make a difference whether or not your parent's went to college. Getting accepted to, and graduating from, college has to do with your brains, not the brains of your parents.
Depends on applicable law in the state that you are in and the decision the parents and their lawyers make. An amicable settlement would be 50% of the time with each parent and the appropriate hours would be based upon the hours each parent is at work. ie, if a parent works mon - fri 9 -5 they would either get evenings and weekends when appropriate or if they work shift work and the other parent works 9-5 then it would be appropriate for the children to be with the parent when not at work.
