College Grad Sues Father to Recoup Tuition Costs
- hga 16y agoKey detail: she got him to sign a contact (this was after her parents divorced). Evidently he didn't initially intend to welsh on the commitment, he didn't until her senior year. Needless to say, parents who have absolutely no intention of paying their children's college expenses won't be signing contracts. Divorce is bad news for college, the pattern of a divorced father not paying for his children's college is all to common. I don't know about other expensive schools, but one thing a friend of mine who's an administrator at MIT has noticed is that it has very few students from broken families (for whatever reasons).
