The opinion

While I agree with the majority that this case be reversed and remanded, I disagree with the instructions to the trial court. The addendum to the divorce decree, however obtained, should be stricken, and the trial court so instructed.

The facts in this case fail in every way, but one, to meet the Bayliss standards, that being the child's aptitude for college, an aptitude that the three older children may have possessed. However, they were not entitled to have court ordered post-minority educational expenses while the parents were married, nor now, since the three older children have reached nineteen years of age.
