Educational expenses under the IMDMA
(Sacia, R-Freeport) limits postsecondary educational expenses so that they may not exceed the total amount to attend an Illinois public college or university that provides comparable professional or vocational training sought by the child. Requires that the child must timely apply to all schools reasonably requested by both parents, the child must apply for loans, grants, or any other form of financial assistance for which the child is potentially eligible or qualified, and the duration of awards for educational expenses shall not exceed four years, or such lesser period established by a professional or vocational school for completion of the program. In no event may any third-party beneficiary rights arise with respect to awards for support or educational expenses. Scheduled for House Judiciary Committee I this Wednesday.
