[QUOTE="GuideMe, post: 641659, member: 18233"] I can't find it now Lil, but it's out there, believe me. It's the reason why the Judge ruled in the daughters favor. I don't know if there was a stipulation in there if it had to be in state or out of state college. I don't think there were any stipulations at all. However, if that stipulation was in there and if it was the only stipulation, come on , that can be worked out. Also, I know for a fact that Disney internship was not in the legal contract. That's something the daughter took upon herself. The Yahoo article that was posted in the beginning of the thread is written by the father and from his point of view only. Also, the grandparents are the one's who got their granddaughter the lawyer to sue the father for tuition. I am not sure if they are the maternal or paternal grandparents, but the grandfather said that the fathers tuition was paid for by his own parents and he didn't do exactly what they said either, but they still paid all of his tuition. That's where they are coming from on it. I just happen to know the story. If we are going off principle alone, I do not feel that parents are obligated to pay for their children's college education. Are you kidding me? BUT, I do feel that if they took it upon themselves from the time the child was born to pay for their child's college tuition and promise it to their children, well I think they should be held to that promise. With that being said, it's not the child's problem if the parents had more children that they couldn't afford. That's not the daughter's fault at all and shouldn't fall onto her shoulders, again if the promise was made to her from a young age. [/QUOTE]
