Private School Tuition/College Education in Minnesota Divorce

The Court does not have the authority to Order a party to pay for either private school tuition or college education for a child. 

However, if the parties agree to make one party or both parties financially responsible for the payment of such expenses, and submit this agreement to the Court, the Court will likely approve of the agreement and will incorporate that agreement into the Divorce Decree.

Determining and handling parenting responsibilities and related expenses during a divorce can be emotionally and financially complex; our experienced Minnesota Family Law Attorneys are here to help. Call us at 952-800-2025 or click below to schedule a free consultation.
