Legal Question in Family Law in Connecticut

When my husband and I divorced in 2006, the judge entered a post-secondary education support order. Child support stopped when she turned 18, which was halfway through her first semester in college. My daughter lives at home and commutes to her chosen school. While her tuition is covered by financial aid, scholarships, and grants, I believe that her father should be supporting where she has chosen to live. The statute says "as otherwise decided by the court" when it comes to assisting in the post-secondary education. Does this mean that he should be paying something for her housing etc?

The statute says that the educational support order may include room and board and medical insurance. You could file a motion and request the court to order him to pay a portion of these expenses.
