Parental Support whilst at University

I have the final hearing soon and one complete unknown is how much I should expect to have to pay for my kids to go through university.
How much should I expect to pay and budget for bearing in mind I will have retired by then and my pension thanks to the ex wife and Mr G Brown will be bugger all.

Are you talking CSA other wise I would of thought this is between you and your kids as to how much if any you can contribute.

trevor,I dont know your details, but have you thought about how much you would want to pay towards university costs and just pay that amount if you are able to do so.

Why not see if you can contact some of the universities. Ask for some idea as to costs.

Find out if your children may be in the running for student grants etc.

Any then look at the figure.

No I am not thinking of CSA, just what I might be expected to have to cough up as a parent since although Mr Blair said there would be "no" parental contributions all I ever hear about is how much parents have to pay. It comes up here all the time.
I don't see why my kids should be put in the position of not being able to go to university because the ex got a disproportional amount of the assets as she as sure as hell wont cough up anything.
I want to ensure that I left with enough to ensure that the kids get a fair crack of the whip.
They do say the kids comes first.

How old are the Kids?

I reckon you've got to be looking at £12k a year for each kid Trev what with the course costa rent and living expenses so thats £36k each witha 3 year course.
I don't know if the court takes possible university costs into account when you split the marital assets.I doubt it though just get the child maintenance for tertiary education at best mate.
i know that you have the kids living with you full time and that your ex don't want to pay any cm anyways.
Good luck know its tough for you.
All the best
