College Education & Divorce Cases in Massachusetts
Lang v. Koon, 61 Mass.App.Ct. 22 (2004). A judge erred by ordering future college expenses where there were no special circumstances to justify the order. McCarthy v. McCarthy: 36 Mass.App.Ct. 490 (1994). The parties’ separation agreement survived the judgment of divorce and had independent legal significance, and there was no provision regarding college education. As such, there was no significant change in circumstances to justify a modification of the parties’ agreement to order the husband to pay for college educational expenses. Purdy v. Colangelo, 61 Mass.App.Ct. 362 (2004). When a separation agreement is silent as to college education, a party may not seek a judicial modification of the agreement for college contribution after the child graduates, unless there are exceptional circumstances.
