As a divorced mom with kids approaching college age, I can share some advice from my own experience. When it comes to divorced parents paying for college, the best approach is communication and compromise, if that's possible. My ex and I decided to split the costs proportionally based on our incomes. This way, it’s fair and doesn’t put too much burden on either side. We also discussed things like scholarships, financial aid, and whether our child could contribute through part-time work. Setting clear expectations early on helped avoid misunderstandings later. I know not everyone has a cooperative co-parenting relationship, but even small agreements can make a big difference in ensuring your child gets the education they deserve.
