As your children near the end of high school and begin looking at colleges, it is important that you and the other parent decide how the costs of higher education will be covered. Attorney Susan Parnell Wilson has spoken recently at a continuing legal education seminar on the topic of non-minor support. Whether you are facing additional costs from a child going to college or from a change in the care of a disabled child over 18, we can give you the expert guidance you need.
Belleville Non-Minor Support Lawyer
Financial support for non-minor children entering college includes tuition, room, board and books. Additionally, other secondary expenses are often at issue, including:
- Transportation to and from school
- Clothing
- Food
- Insurance
- Living expenses
- "Startup" expenses, including laptops, furnishings, small appliances, etc.
It is our goal to account for each expense and divide those costs between the two parents.

Child Support for Non-Minors
Non-minor support of a child also includes the care of disabled children over the age of 18. In these cases, the parent who is housing the child may ask the court to require support of the other parent. In doing so, this parent often needs to do careful accounting to uncover the hidden costs associated with having a disabled child in the home. Ultimately, seeking this support is in the best interest of the child and will help the housing parent avoid financial burnout and provide the best possible home for the child.
