[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter's stepmom quit including her in family vacations when she was six years old and never sent her so much as a birthday card. When the stepmom died, my daughter wasn't even mentioned in the obit. Frankly, I'm glad she's no longer in the picture (though I wouldn't wish her dead). My daughter's relationship with her father and her stepbrother has improved tenfold without the stepmom in the picture.[/quote]

And, my husbands ex quit following the court ordered visitation and told the kids he was a deadbeat and would not allow them to see him.  Funny, when we went to court, he had a $20,000 overpayment as she got several double payments and two kids should have been taken off child support.  She continues to get retirement payments from him.  She doesn't spend a dime of the child support on them or the extra.  It goes both ways. The kids truly think he's a deadbeat and my favorite is that he cheated on her when she cheated on him and is still with the boyfriend, whom she's financially dependent on.  My husband is dad when they want money but that's it.  Sadly, the boyfriend didn't pay child support for his kids and they lived in true poverty.

There is not enough information about the situaiton and no one is obligated to pay for college.  If anyone is, it is the biological parents.[/quote]
