NH College Costs Bill Sidelined

Code Monkey writes "In New Hampshire a bill was proposed in the state legislature that would prohibit the family courts from requiring divorced parents to pay college costs for children over the age of 18. The bill's primary sponsor, Rep. David Bickford, proposed it after a Dover man was jailed for 43 days when he couldn't come up with almost $17,000 to pay for half of his daughter's private university tuition. Proponents of the bill say it's unfair to force divorced parents to pay college costs when the same isn't done for married parents. Unfortunately, the bill has been referred back to commission and won't be re-introduced again until next year. Read the Foster's Daily Democrat news article."
