PENNSYLVANIA: Curtis v. Kline, 20 Fam. L. Rep. (BNA) 1232 (Pa. Jan. 11, 1995).

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court declared that its college support statute was unconstitutional.

In 1993, the Pennsylvania legislature enacted 23 Pa. Cons. Stat. Ann. 4327(a), which provides that a court may order either or both parents who are separated, divorced, unmarried, or otherwise subject to an existing support obligation to provide for educational costs of their child. This statute was enacted in direct response to Blue v. Blue, 532 Pa. 521, 616 A.2d 628 (1992), in which the Pennsylvania Supreme Court refused to recognize a duty requiring a parent to provide college education support because no such duty had been imposed by the legislature. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court held that the statute violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment because there was no rational basis to discriminate between divorced parents and nondivorced parents in their obligation to provide for a college education for their children. Curtis v. Kline, 20 Fam. L. Rep. (BNA) 1232 (Pa. Jan. 11, 1995).
