Response:  First, I hate to beat a dead horse, but without an attorney, your chances of success are always less.  Of course, an attorney doesn’t mean you are assured anything as one side has to lose a contested case.   Second, courts allow a brief hiatus during college.  Thus, a lot will depend on the facts of the case and how it is argued.  I’ve been down this road before and sometimes you win right away and sometimes it is a longer fight as the promise to go back to college can often be a lie.
