[quote=Anonymous]Is the college payment agreement not covered in your divorce settlement? I think you and ex should work through that independent of the child. Insist on filing FAFSA so both of you have to produce financial documents. Ex saying she “can’t” pay is not sufficient. That said, you need to work on the relationship. I do see a lot of typical teen attitude (exacerbated by divorce) in your description but the extreme anger and outbursts are NOT typical and the backtalk is way out of line. Don’t tie your financial support for education to her behavior. But you can continue to express your expectations and adjust “extra” spending money accordingly. Ungrateful for trips? Guess you don’t want them. Gifts? Scale back. Spending money? No. Trust has been broken. Continue to express sadness that she’s shutting you out but that you love her and hope she’ll come to see that when she’s older and can look at it with more maturity. [/quote]
