[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is way younger but at one point definitely looked at a calendar, saw when she would turn 18, and said that at least he couldn’t turn prom and graduation into a tantrum.

Sorry, OP. The words you’re quoting are ones my STBX has said to us, too. It’s always taking “my daugher”, “my rights”, “blocking my time”. I’ve fantasized about taking the “I”, “M” and “Y” letters off his keyboard to see if he can still write a sentence. [/quote]

All those things said are correct.  You are encouraging your daughter's behavior and she is doing it to please you.  Until college, you stick to the schedule.  How would you feel if your ex sabatoged your relationship, stopped visits (you are the parent giving them permission or telling them to) and only used you for money?[/quote]
Ehh no. The kid is 17, not 5. She isn’t encouraging anything, her child chose to not sleep over there. Why would she be choosing to please OP and not her dad?[/quote]

If she’s grown enough to cut out her dad, she’s grown enough to financially support herself. [/quote]

Yeah that's not going to fly with a judge.[/quote]

Its also not going to fly that OP terminated visitation/contact and refusing to parent.  And, in many states orders stop at 18 and college is voluntary so Dad can decide based off their relationship.  The parent supporting the no contact should fully financially support the child if they are cutting the other parent out.

How would you feel if your child stopped seeing you and the parent supported it?  [/quote]
