In Re Marriage of Frink , 1987 Iowa App. LEXIS 1572 ( 1987 )

SNELL, Judge

(specially concurring).

I concur specially. The limit of the support obligation found by the majority to be one-half the cost of attending a non-private state-supported school is appropriate in this case. However, there is nothing in law or reason to establish this standard as an automatic cap on a parent’s obligation for educational support of a child. If a child is qualified and a parent is financially able to provide a post-secondary education at a private college selected by the child, it is reasonable to require the parent to do so. See Commonwealth v. Larsen, 211 Pa.Super. 30, 32, 234 A.2d 18, 20 (1967).
