 Question:
My daughter is in a state college and I am paying one-third of her tuition and off-campus living expenses, in addition to my child support order. She is 20 years old and not progressing academically in this school towards her goal of going to nursing school. So I want her to switch to a community college since she is retaking classes until she gets a better GPA. I'm looking at less debt for her later, but she is refusing to consider it. Since she lives in an apartment, and not with her mother, if I emancipate her at 21, will I still be responsible to pay for her living expenses and college tuition?

 Question:
My ex-wife and I are responsible for one-half of our daughter's college tuition and books, which I am willing to pay. My ex-wife gave me a bill in which she blacked out the amount due and scholarship information. She then wrote in amounts in these columns and requested I pay it.
Common sense tells me the bill is less than what they claim, but neither will provide me with an explanation or an unaltered bill. She is threatening me with being in contempt of court if I don't pay. Should I pay it, or hold my ground until I receive an itemized bill? There is a late fee if it's not paid within 30 days which I am sure she's going to request I pay.
Question:
I got divorced in New York in 1994. The stipulation of the settlement emancipates me when my son is 18. In return, I must pay all college costs.
My son has a severe case of parental alienation syndrome (PAS). In other words, he has relentless and irrational hatred towards me. He's 20 years old and entered college 2 years ago. I offered to pay as per the court order in the divorce but he would not even speak to me.
His mother had him apply for college aid (state and federal) while at the same time extorting me for $800/month for child support since I did not pay for college (not my choice). I have no idea where this money goes. He nor his mother will provide any accounting for his college costs. No receipts, nothing.
What am I legally bound to pay in this case?
