Child in college

Need answer quickly, please. My child is in college and my ex husband had his attorney draw up a modification of support because of that. I know he is entitled to a reduction while my child is away at school. The problem is that he will not help pay for school for the first year. If he's not contributing to the cost of education, can he get a reduction in support? Or does he have to wait a year until he starts contributing? I live in Indiana.

Nothing your ex-husband's attorney draws up has any relevance. Only court orders are relevant.
What do your court orders say about whether the father is obligated to pay college expenses? If the court orders say nothing about this, then what is the default requirement for college expenses in the State of Indiana?
If the court orders do not mention it, and there is no State Law obligating him to pay for college, then he is not required to contribute.

My question doesn't have to do with whether or not he will help pay for college. He already agreed to that with the last modification. He just won't pay anything the first year. What I'm wondering is if he is entitled to a reduction of support based on just the fact my child is in school. Or does he have to be contributing to the cost of education in order to get that reduction?

I don't see how your child being in school would reduce his support.
See this link:
Post-majority child support collection laws
It appears he is obligated at least until the child turns 21.
I think his chances of getting support reduced before then are pretty slim. All you would need to show is that you are still incurring expenses on behalf of the child.
