What is considered to be an educational expense?
I divorced about 15 years ago. There is a sentence in my decree that says I pay half of “educational expenses” following high school. Does that include everything or is just tuition?

Unless the term "educational expense" is defined in the court order that you are presumably discussing, such would would include tuition, book expenses, room and board and anything connected with the education of the minor child which would also include travel expenses.
