What is the name of your state? Illinois
My husband's daughter will turn 18 in October but lives with her mother in Texas (which she did not receive court permission to move). And we have had to go without the agreed upon visitation stipulated in their divorse papers and when she does visit we have had to pay for her to fly back. Can we require visitation at her expense with child turning 18 but still in high school? She now wants child support through June which is when the child graduates from high school. I understand that in Illinois we are obligated to pay this. However, in addition she now wants us to pay for college expences (directly to her). Illinois (which is where the divorce was filed) law, I believe, states we are obligated to pay this however, Texas where they have lived for 2 years does not. Are we still obligated and if so how much are we obligated to pay (%age)? Is it possible we may have to pay a larger percentage, because my income is substantially higher than hers or my husbands (the father). Can she touch my income or assets? How do I protect myself. I have heard that the Court may require us to pay a larger percentage due to my income because my husband can afford it since everything financially is done jointly. I want to make sure that she can not get more from my husband just because my income is higher than theirs. Any advise?
