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]

We don't know the whole story. She could be working her tail off and have a beater and worked all summer. We don't know and OP isn't coming back. But all of the above sounds very sensible for a young adult who needs to start going it alone, for whatever reason. [/quote]
