hey this is an untimely motion to reconsider sixty two days passed and also on earth back in the rescue to have arguing the constitutional question should have been raised in the st instance despite now losing these procedural standard advice to their post secondary education was the st step in equal protection analysis is very kind of five classes that are being supposedly imposed upon a mystery actually argued in t expenses of their child through the illinois heritage act without seeking a dissolution of marriage and even possibly a opposition for legal separation although this is rare the only  purposes to this case which is to mitigate central harm to spouses or their children caused by the worst and make reasonable provision were support during and after an underlying dissolution or  undertake new financial obligations which you can miss it more difficult for them to contribute to children of the st marriage and thirteen with us past the recognition that these children are economically disadvantaged and so if there are more of them today than there were forty years ago five hundred and thirty becomes all the more necessary and important he was deprived of his right to use for its economic lark are just to steer her in that direction over making this fine even the word ignored another precedent which is a nd district case called in remarriage right from two thousand and in that case the nd district found that the parents relationship with their child and the parents lack of consent to that child choice school are not appropriate factors for or to because they are strange from their parents then we're not going to say that strangeness is a reason for the poor to deny that parent's contribution it would undermine the higher purpose of section five the one of our president franklin roosevelt stated that democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice prepared choose wisely the real safeguard democracy therefore is education this is demonstrated in many of today's polls which often show the difference in voting habits between people with a college degree versus those without further breakdowns in polls of her long life long income levels which again often early education  know you have a new chance to say much but we have to get past this point this court has repeatedly held that we're the supreme court has declared the law on any point it alone can overrule and modify its previous opinion and the law lords judicial tribunals are bound by our decisions so isn't it true that the lower court was bound to follow through due a scheme no matter how much it may have disagreed with it or  earth and perfect there's a perfect answer but here's the problem the problem is if you know sometimes we ask questions up here and you don't know where we're going to what we're doing or how we're going to decide i'm going to this is very very this question is very important times may have changed right and certainly if this went through the normal appellate process and was appeal this work would have received presumably a petition for leave to appeal and we could decide whether the a nine hundred and seventy case should be changed that times have changed but if we allow opinion as to the daughter's college decision the circuit court it's hardly undermined by my client's attempt to use his money to influence the start going to another school but here they're just thank you repl i would offer another dimension in this case and more than forty years of legal practice this case appears to be a bit of an aberration in our troubles to cite supporting their institutions law for four years section five hundred and thirteen has been the law illinois as an act it and amended multiple times by a legislature this court decided that by thirteen was provide support in the courts for children of a married parents and why is this all we can see and we know it's the state of illinois and millions of dollars in education i would mentary high school  have been disadvantaged by their circumstances this disadvantage is evidenced by the millions of dollars spent on child support enforcement in the state going away if it's all difficult to enforce child support obligations it is rational to assume that children of unmarried parents will continue to be disadvantaged after high school for section five routine provide a discretion to the trial court to evaluate the circumstances of each case and craft a result to meet each individual situation such as forty eight dollars pack and expenses requiring the child to maintain a c average and considering all of the financial resources available matches to the parents but to the child through grants and loans and work study so the court considers all of that and  certainly at trial judges are not free agents they're bound to follow supreme court decisions lawyers are bound to present evidence to support their legal positions or even an extension of the law i i insufficient to argue without hearing and without any evidence that by thirteen is unfair or inequitable or society has changed those arguments could be properly addressed to the legislature not as an afterthought in a long litigated case this case has had a ripple effect in the family law courts of illinois the issue has now been raised in numerous family law courts you know and taken many hours of court time an children of unmarried parents who will be victimized twice st by this is beyond just emotional and financial of having unmarried parents and nd by the law which is designed to protect the illinois legislature has said to offer protection he these children it is rational and just to do so we respect and we request that the order of five for eighteen be vacated
