[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe it's me, but feels like there are one or more men's right activists in this thread with all the references to men being bamboozled, etc. When they became dads did they just think it was going to be all shits and giggles?

It’s just you. How is this a men’s rights issue anyway?[/quote]

No, it’s not just that poster. I recognize the language of the men’s rights activists. I also note that OP never said she wouldn’t pay anything. She just asked what to do about her child’s father refusing to pay anything.

I’ve known deadbeat dads who wanted their ex-BILs and ex-SILs to pay for their kids education b/c they’ve decided that their ex-in-laws have money and should pay.  There are more entitled deadbeats out there than people realize. [/quote]

You are not a deadbeat for not paying for college.  Many married, divorced and single parents don't pay because they cannot afford it or don't want to.  This is not a deadbeat situation  A deadbeat is when a parent is ordered to pay child support and they don't pay it.  Anything over age 18/after graduation from college is voluntary.  OP isn't giving any real information about the entire situation including incomes, other responsibilities, how much he is paying in support and extra's, how much each parent can afford/willing to pay and how much the child will pay (summer earnings).

She is also refusing to pay from the minimum information provided.  She expected financial aid, they didn't get it and is now demanding that Dad fully pay.

We don't know Dad's side.  [/quote]
