¶1

¶2I concur with the main opinion on the issue of incorporating limitations on the mother's responsibility for payment of college expenses.

¶3I dissent from the main opinion on the issue of the mother's postminority-educational-support obligation. The trial court should give the mother credit for the cost of room and board while the child attends the University of Alabama. The trial court's 1999 order regarding postminority educational support stated that room and board would not be considered as an expense if the child resided with either parent. There was no evidence that the mother's offer to allow the child to live with her and to attend the University of Alabama at Birmingham was unreasonable.
