## Opinion text

LARSEN, Justice,
dissenting.
I dissent. I do not see this case as involving an abuse of discretion.
I would affirm the Superior Court’s order as to the holding that parents have an obligation to provide college support for their children. I would reverse the Superior Court’s order as to the parents not getting a reduction or credit toward this obligation from the children’s grants, scholarships, loans, financial worth, etc. No windfalls should occur here.
