What’s in it
AI summary If a court order requires parents to help pay for a child's college, a child who is 14 or older can ask the court to change that order. This allows the student to file their own request to protect their interest in receiving that education money.1
Read the official explanation
This bill provides that when a court retains jurisdiction over a dissolution of marriage following the issuance of a decree that includes the ordering of a postsecondary education subsidy or otherwise retains such jurisdiction to address a postsecondary education subsidy, a child affected by the ordering of a postsecondary education subsidy who is years of age or older shall have standing to file a petition to modify the decree in order to pursue the child’s legally enforceable interest in a postsecondary education subsidy.
