[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 705269, member: 18958"] I am not an attorney, and of course we are in different countries. That said, I agree with Susiestar and everybody else. I really do not much like her/his attitude. She/he seems to feel entitled. And I do not like at all the way she/he seems to have set you up for scorn from other people. I agree with husband. I would understand your being on the hook for past tuition bills, but for future I would send certified, dated letters to the registrar's office and to the academic dean of students for whatever division she/he is in, that say something like the following (of course I cannot give legal advice, and this is not meant to be such. You would probably be best advised to consult an attorney or to call the college): We have decided to discontinue immediately as of ___ (Spring Semester 2017 until further notice) the studies for our child whose legal name is __,but currently using the name __. We will no longer be responsible for any future bills for tuition or any other costs that she/he incurs. This type of announcement is routine in divorces where one spouse no longer wants to be responsible for the debts of the other. You can google this and get a format to use. Here people will place this announcement in the newspaper, and from that day forward they cannot be held responsible, I believe. I do not know what is the situation for a minor, and I do not know the law either here where I live or in your country. Your child is acting like a completely emancipated adult, who chooses to make full decisions for her/himself, yet make you responsible. This is unfair. To me, it is. I would hope I would do the same thing. Especially with the attitude he/she is displaying. But I know it is hard. [/QUOTE]
