Regulates court authority to order educational expenses for unemancipated children in child support cases.

The bill outlines specific factors for courts to consider when deciding whether to order a parent to pay for an unemancipated child's post-high school education. This authority extends to undergraduate college education or professional training after high school. The court must consider factors such as the child's failure to enroll or maintain full-time status in a post-high school program, the parents' ability to pay, and the child's commitment to the requested education. The court may also consider the child's eligibility for public benefits and services for people with disabilities.
