Co‑parenting can look very different once a child heads off to college. When your student reaches adulthood, many of the rights you previously managed as a parent legally shift to them — and that change can bring new questions for co-parents.
Our team at The McGee Firm understands how challenging this transition can be. Here are a few key legal considerations co-parents commonly face during the college years:
• Access to education and financial records
• Decision-making authority for medical care
• Updates to support or expense‑sharing agreements
• Expectations around travel, holidays, and communication
If you’re unsure how your current order applies now that your child is in college, or you’d like help updating an agreement, we’re here to support you.
