In Georgia, a non-custodial parent can be required to contribute to a child's college education expenses, but this is not automatic. The obligation typically depends on the terms of the divorce decree or custody agreement, and the court's determination of what is reasonable and necessary. If the agreement specifies college expenses, the non-custodial parent may be compelled to pay. Otherwise, the custodial parent may need to petition the court for such support.

It impacts tax filings by determining which parent can claim certain tax benefits related to the child, such as the Child Tax Credit or the Earned Income Credit.


In New Jersey family law does a father who is divorced from the mother be required to pay for college and child support?

In most cases, the non-custodial parent has to pay half or more of the college expenses, unless it was stated in the divorce decree that college would not be paid for. I know, because I am the custodial parent and my ex was ordered to pay 65% of college expenses in addition to child support. Lucky for him, though, we qualified for financial-aid for college and all he had to pay was child support. (Which he tried to get out of many times)It's more like the opposite - the non-custodial parent is under no obligation to pay for college unless the order for support specifically provides for it.
