Strictly business
I will not rehash, but dh's daughter, the one who collected 7k college tuition, and has the brass balls to stick a photocopy receipt of book bill in envelope and sent it to her money tree, my dh, without a peep...........anyway, he felt that behavior needed addressing so he called. No answer. No surprises. A text.......no surprise either.......basically leave me alone.
So, we do know that this genetic material is going to demand dh pay for her grad school next year. Why would it go any other way? She obviously did not get any nice genes! So.......do we sit back and wait for it to happen? Do we start a paper trail? Like should dh send her an email basically saying that 1...they have no relationship by her choice, and she basically has no appreciation, no respect for father. Why is this important? Because the court will weigh in these factors NOT in her favor. If dh does nothing, the story painted in court will be how poor princess has been abused, neglected by daddy and his mean wife..that is a given. I can think of many other things to spend my 20 or 30k on..
Essentially I want to go on the offense. Are we wasting our time? Should dh just send her book money without a comment? Any advice welcomed!
Laws vary from state to
Laws vary from state to state. i would check the laws in your state. some states require parents to pay until achild is 23. even a judge might overrule this and obligate paying beyond that age. in my case, the DH had to pay for all college for the skids, even though they ignored him while in the custody of then wife.
Of course we will challenge
Of course we will challenge this in court, but it ain't free. My dh has spent his whole retirement on this s$&@. Having a daughter who basically failed every semester and has no degree to show for all his money ppissed away. Now this one.......but no surprise considering who their mother is.....a cruel narcissist.
I agree go with an attorney!
I agree go with an attorney! The money spent in court to win a case would be far more beneficial then sending college tuition to that brat. Besides it would be funny to see her reaction if you win on no more daddy having to dig in his pockets for her. Its worth a try.
And in this state, one is not
And in this state, one is not simply emancipated by age......you need a court order. So all these chicks have to do is say no way.......and the battle starts..I see it going no other way. I even think if he does have a relationship with her at this point they will still demand the same.
It is just unbelievable how
It is just unbelievable how out of control our family court laws are! :jawdrop:
No no no......that was the
No no no......that was the older sister! Merciful God, she is emancipated! This is her sister, who actually gets good grades, but is a snake nonetheless. Her best friends are her sister and mother, get the picture? No, this one cost us plenty so far in legal costs.......she refused to consider a state college, which was stipulated. She and her mother will not want emancipation at college grad. It will be a fight, sigh........again.
And I have to say that the
And I have to say that the judge personally told my dh to give the failing one "another chance". However we get the last laugh. She took on loans plenty as hypocrite mother never paid her share, all the while sticking it my dh.......so she in debt to her eyeballs and has a transcript that would make prospective employers run!
The sister sounds like a
The sister sounds like a prime example of why adults 18+ should have to pay their own stuff..college, car, etc. Because its only until you have to pay for it yourself that you appreciate it and work for it. Unreal what this poor DH and you have to go through with this state law you guys have. Unreal.
That was the original court
That was the original court motion, the exact words.. Of course this was a bombed dropped. In our mailbox.....college had not even been discussed yet..she was still in high school.. So.......they had their meeting.....she would not back down and dh agreed to her selection because we were dealing with my serious illness at the time, so it was done. But now fast forward a few years later and I assume they will make argument for dh to pay grad school as well........it is really ugly

Don't think I have not
Don't think I have not fantasized.........
He pays 14 k of college
He pays 14 k of college tuition per year, half books, and still child support..
And child is 21 years old!
And child is 21 years old!
Yeah.....he as been paying
Yeah.....he as been paying it. But these people are the worst of the worst. I will NEVER engage with his daughters, other than to tell them what miserable excuses for daughters they are! I look forward to the day.
