LECLAIR V. LECLAIR 624 A.2d 1350 (1993) CASE BRIEF

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.
