My husband's ex is trying to make him pay for his 22 1/2 year old child's college tuition. Child support payments for her stopped when she turned 21 when she was emancipated. We have already paid for 4 years of college before emancipation. The divorce agreement only states that each parent will pay for half for child's college after loans, grants etc have been applied for and credited. It doesn't state how many years or for how long the child can go to college. Can a child just go to school forever and the ex wife demand payment? When does it stop? The mother had never produced proof of loans or grants as started in stipulaltion either. She constantly takes my husband to court for anything and everything. WE can't afford attorney's any longer ,our legal fees have been more than $80K so far. My husband's divorce lawyer wrote a really bad stipulation, everything is a grey area. Nothing is black and white. My husband has never been late on a payment.(he pays over 2000/mth) She just harrasses him because in NY you can go to family court and make life hard for the ex spouse. It's a Kagaroo court system. His daughter has an associate degree and works full time. still lives with the mother and drives a new very expensive car ($30,000) for a 22 year old. The mother is quite wealthy and hid her assets well during the divorce. I could see if the child was out on her own and asked her dad for some help for school, but this is not the case. They have alot of money. By the way, the child and the other siblings (4 of them) have not spoken to their father since Christmas 07, as the mother is very bitter and causes problems. They never visited him in the hospital when he had major surgery this year(they were notified too). He never missed a payment even when he was out of work.They don't even accept phone calls from him. The youngest is 16. Any answers on the college isssue? Our last attorney just said if it isn't written in the decree you'll have to pay forever. That can't be right! Help!!!
