NH Legislature Passes College Costs Bill

On January 7, 2004, the NH Senate passed HB 299. This bill removes judicial discretion to order a divorced parent to contribute to an adult child's college expenses. At least two fathers in NH have been jailed for not being able to pay their children's college tuition. You can read about one man's story here. Once the bill is signed by the governor, this should never happen again. This bill is a huge win for us in returning common sense to the child support system. Married parents aren't required by law to pay their children's college expenses, and divorced parents should not be treated differently.
