I question this as well. Is DH is expected to pay for his daughter for 2 more years? We're talking about significant nonessential (car, etc.) support for an ADULT vs. contributing to the basic living expenses of young minor children.

Let's be clear - 22 years old is not a "child" anymore. Plenty of young adults figure out how to fund their education without any help at all from parents, let alone being furnished a car with insurance, etc.

Maybe the daughter can learn from some of her contemporaries. Like, work a full time job to support her own living expenses and go to school part time. (Many companies offer tuition reimbursement.) [/quote]

They may have been red shirted. Telling her to move home, work full time, drop out school and find a local school, is a good way to shatter a family. Saying companies offer tuition remnimbursement tells me that you've never worked one of those jobs. Like most benefits in retail, the hoops you have to jump through make the benefit almost non-existant. [/quote]
