If you are going to make an agreement, then make sure you put ALL the requirements down in writing, not just parts of it.
Sorry Dad, I would go with the daughter on this one.
Personally I don’t think it is the parents responsibility to pay for a child’s education. If they got the money and if they want to, great. But I don’t think parents should be forced to, nor do I think they should go into debt to pay for it.

Southern CT is a pretty cheap school. No way one year could possible cost anywhere NEAR $47,000.

Ship her off to Saudi Arabia. I’m sure there is a Sheik looking for a 60th or 61st wife.

“Southern CT is a pretty cheap school. No way one year could possible cost anywhere NEAR $47,000.”
It’s the matriculation fees, the clothing budget, alcohol budget, make up budget, latte budget, car budget, etc. when added up could come out to 47 Gs.

She was a teacher until March 2010 and got a pink slip? Guess Art Majors are not in high demand?

Although $47,000 sounds ridiculously high, in many cases the parents encourage or pressure the child to go to college. Bailing out after three years is kind of dirty pool itself. Why did he make a promise in writing that he did not intend to keep? Oh, and he probably won't be dying for another 30 years, so the will doesn't mean a whole lot right now, assuming he would have anything to leave as it is.

This upsets the natural order.
When she presented him with that “contract” to sign, he should have laughed in her twit face. And then told her that if she was behaving respectfully, and progressing at a reasonable pace, in a useful degree program,,,, then he would pay.
Can’t quite get my mind around her demanding a formal contract,,, or him signing it.

I went with the worthlessness of her degree and her liberal, shortsighted thinking.

99.99% of college seniors are well over the age of 18... time to be an adult and start appreciating all your parents have done for you to date.

Deadbeat “father” got what he deserved, should have hit him up for emotional suffering as well. Bas%$ards like him do not deserve to have children.

At age 18, my nephew took his bio-dad to court for back support payments so he could attend college. That was 20 years ago. He now has an MBA, is CEO of medical services company, has a nice home, a nice boat and very few debts.
Can’t tell how proud I feel for him.

She and her Father don't have much of a relationship to begin with.
Also he signed a binding contract with her and she fulfilled her end of the deal. So he should not have signed the contract to begin with.
To: Dr. Sivana
You can be sure that she won’t get another nickel from Dad.On the flip side,he must be a miserable parent to produce a young adult child like her.

The father should have set a cap on the amount he'd pay out for her education. Considering this was part of the divorce settlement.. I wonder what he got from the wife in return for this.
It's sad all around.. Families who sue each other were never "family" to begin with.

Obviously “Honor Thy Father” was not in her educational program.
