Are parents required to pay college tuition in Florida as part of child support?

Legal Lotus, Miami Trial & Family Lawyers
In Florida, college tuition is not typically considered child support. Child support in the state is determined by specific calculations based on factors such as health insurance costs, out-of-pocket expenses, and child care. Once a child reaches the age of 18, child support is no longer legally required. However, there are exceptions. If parents agree to pay for college tuition in a contractual agreement, specifying details such as the duration, costs, and what expenses are covered, a court may enforce the agreement. It is important to make the agreement as specific as possible to increase the chances of it being considered a contract.
