Divorce Agreement

I have a signed divorce separation stating I must pay half of our kids college education. Is that stipulation really enforceable after they turn 18 years old.

Re: Divorce Agreement

A parent is generally not obligated to financially support a child after reaching majority and in college, unless he/she has agreed to do so in a valid agreement. In such case a parent may obligate themself to pay for post-secondary education.
