MORRIS PLAINS, N.J. - A New Jersey couple does not have to pay for their 18-year-old daughter's college education, a judge ruled Tuesday, CBS New York reports.
Judge Peter Bogaard denied Rachel Canning's request $600 a month in support, high school tuition back pay, college tuition and legal fees.
But he said he would revisit the issue of college tuition at the end of April, about a month after her financial aid forms are due.
Earlier her lawyer said the parents of the high school honor student should have sought help for their daughter rather than cutting her off financially for misbehaving, the teen's lawyer said in a court hearing Tuesday. Canning is suing her parents, whom she alleges were abusive. She is seeking tuition money for her final high school semester and college.
During Tuesday's hearing, Rachel Canning barely made eye contact with her parents, CBS 2′s Alice Gainer reported.
The Morris Catholic High School cheerleader has been staying with a friend's family since the beginning of November. Her friend's father, attorney and former Morris County Freeholder John Inglesino, is bankrolling the lawsuit.
"In the four months that Rachel had been with the Inglesinos, these people have not called her, they have not come to see her, they have not sent a penny to her or to her benefactors," Rachel Canning's attorney, Tanya Helfand, told the judge.

This little brat is destined for trouble.

“Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.”
Isn’t there a legal theory about alienating the natural affections between parent and child?
There should be something the parents can sue the “friend’s” slimy lawyer father, egging her on with this frivolous law suit.
You should see the bikini clad photo I saw of her on FaceBook. Spoiled princess indeed!
Really glad the judge had some sense, at least at this hearing. Hopefully, that will keep up.
Never thought about this before...if parents are divorced the dads are almost always on the hook for support through college graduation. But if parents are together they can simply choose not to pay. No one can force them to shell out.
