The imposition of a duty upon parents to continue paying for their child's college education is inconsistent with a determination that the child is emancipated

Law Lessons from LYNDA TIMINSKY v. LAWRENCE TIMINSKY, App. Div., A-2490-09T1, February 1, 2011: To justify a declaration of emancipation, The trial court must make the finding that a child had "moved `beyond the sphere of influence and responsibility exercised by [his parents] and obtain[ed] an independent status of his . . . own'". Fillippone v. Lee, 304 N.J. Super. 301, 308 (App. Div. 1997) (quoting Bishop v. Bishop, 287 N.J. Super. 593, 598 (Ch. Div. 1995)). The imposition of a duty upon parents to continue paying for their child's college education is inconsistent with a determination that the child is emancipated. See Tretola v. Tretola, 389 N.J. Super. 15, 19-20 (App. Div. 2006). Note: There is a print link embedded within this post, please visit this post to print it.
