It is the settled law of this State as part of the Child Support Standards Act (CSSA) that a court may, as part of an award of child support, require a non-custodial parent to defray his share of the cost of a college education (see, Domestic Relations Law �240 [1-b] [b] [2]; Family Court Act �413 [1] [c] [7]).
In overseeing the practical administration of this rule, the various departments of the Appellate Division have provided for a mechanism by which, under certain circumstances, the non-custodial parent’s basic child support obligation may be reduced while a child is away at college.
