Motor Vehicle as College Expense

The Court of Appeals handed down Brooks v. Fields today located here.  This is an interesting case on college support.  The short version is that the Court of Appeals reversed and rendered a judgment obligating a parent to purchase a vehicle for a child in college and an award of attorney's fees.  The main issue appeared to turn on the fact that the proof was not there to support obligating Mr. Brooks to pay for the car.  However, the opinion noted that there are circumstances where this would be appropriate.  Interesting read and one to file away.
