Clients often ask about their responsibility for college education. In Pennsylvania, neither parent has a legal obligation to pay for their child’s college education. But in some cases it may be worthwhile for a parent to agree to pay a portion of the cost.
Just because payment of college costs is not required in Pennsylvania does not mean you should never advise your client to enter into an agreement for payment of college costs. If parents are getting divorced and college is imminent (a child is in high school), an attorney should definitely have the college cost discussion with his or her client.
