Was there an agreement in the divorce about college?  My guess is that they will get a mostly full scholarship based off mom and aren't including you on the application which is why they don't want to include you in any of the college planning.  They want a blank check so mom can replace child support and claim she is paying when she isn't.  That's what happened with my husband's ex.  Make it clear that the behavior will discontinue, that you will be involved and review all the paperwork submitted and the Dad scholarship will be available for good behavior, ongoing relationship and define it, good grades (with proof), etc.  If she fails to comply, she can take loans or get a job and you can help pay back the loans if the behavior toward you changes.

Mom is probably setting child up to behave this way, especially if child support is ending.[/quote]

I generally agree with you and this has really been my position from my first post (all frustrations aside).  But I was surprised at how many here seemed to make it solely "my fault".  Oh well...

It's funny you mention the Dad Scholarship and terms.  Someone sent me something like that from somewhere and I am posting it below.  I'd be curios on your thoughts.  Thanks again![/quote]

If you look on the Dad divorce forums there is lots of information on it.   My husband said that to his kids as same exact situation and they refused to provide him with any information so he didn't pay (they probably got a full ride) and he had continued to pay child support so mom could have used that money to pay his portion.  I  suspect this is more from Mom than child.[/quote]
