[QUOTE="GuideMe, post: 641674, member: 18233"] You got me questioning my own memory, but I am pretty sure that the divorce stipulation did have the college education included. In New Jersey and I think a few other states, it automatically goes in now. At the time, they did not have a problem with the idea paying for her college, this is when the daughter was under five years old. Yes, believe me I know this. As I said, I have been reading about this story for about a month now and something strikes me really fishy about the parents and from what I read, I really don't like them as people. I find them to be hypocrites. The mother admitted in that gofundme article that she is drowning in debt (from long before this whole college tuition thing popped up) and also STILL is paying off her own student loans. She is crying the blues about this, but yet, by her own words, spent tons of money on vacations and other extravagant things. I'm going to come right out and say it, I think these people are narcissist in the highest order. So I've had my preconceived notions for a while now. Also, as I said before, I do not believe a parent is responsible to pay college tuition, but if they PROMISE it to their child from a young age, yes, I am going to feel a bit different about it and I also don't believe with-holding education in any form is an appropriate punishment at all. Sorry, I just don't. From what I heard, the girl is going to college and attending, getting good grades. She's trying to do the right thing by going to college. The way the parents are acting, they are acting as if she is trying open a meth lab. My opinions on this matter is stricly situation based. If the parents never promised her to pay for her education from an early age, I would have said all the same things you all are saying to the Tee. [/QUOTE]
