LECLAIR V. LECLAIR
624 A.2d 1350 (1993)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over an order for a parent to contribute to an
adult son's college education.
FACTS: H and W were divorced in 1978. Their son was five at the time of the divorce. The
boy lived with his father until he was sixteen and then he moved in with his mother. The boy
began college in the fall of 1991. W then filed a petition requesting that H make a
reasonable contribution to the boy's college expenses. When the parties were divorced the
court did not make a child support award at that time. The master found that the total cost
of school was $22,900 and that all but $8,056 was already covered by student loans, grants,
work study, savings, and contributions from a paternal grandmother. H was then ordered to
contribute $2,000 per year for a total of four years, if he did not sell his real estate
holdings and business pursuant to an option agreement. H appealed the post majority college
expense ruling.
