[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's not unreasonable that he spend the time with his dad if his dad is supporting him after 18.  You can always pay for college yourself or he can pay if he doesn't want a relationship.  Simple.[/quote]

He's obligated to pay by our divorce degree. We both pay child support to son in proportion to our income, child support is legally till age 21 in my state. The issue is that dad threatens not to follow the legal agreements if son is not doing what he wants him to do. If exH doesn't prepay tuition for next semester, I would end up in court collecting it.

I am actually the one financially interested here in their good relationship and who insisted on 50/50 time split on college breaks. I'm dating, too and need some time for myself. Grown up kids are expensive and child support is minimal.

But I feel like a shitty mother for "selling" my son to the person he doesn't want to have anything in common. I am thinking long term: exH is much older, he will be gone in 20 years or so. Our son is a sole heir and in trusts of a multi-mullion estate. [/quote]

If the agreement is 50-50 then you are the one not honoring it and if he's paying you child support he should not be paying for college.  You are greedy.  I hope dad does not leave the money to your son as it clear what you are up to.[/quote]

[b]You must be someone's AP, if you believe men should leave money to strangers who came to their life right at the top of their life-earned wealth. How convenient to be that late 30s lady, right? [/b]
Did you read above about 50-50? It's actually ME who is asking my son to continue honoring 50/50 for the sake of good relationship with dad and overall stability. [/quote]

Well, they aren't "strangers" once they become a new wife, now are they? [/quote]
