"If the parents were still married to each other he couldn’t and they could tell this kid to go pound sand, and they could have told her that at any age (I don’t mean to say they could have abandoned or neglected a minor, you understand0 but because they are divorced they’ve subjected themselves to the rule of the court."

Why should the parents' current marital status have anything to do with requiring them to pay college tuition for an adult child?

I’m not sure how they are getting around the adult part. I read in one article that she brought this suit right before the parents were going to bring suit to have the daughter declared “emancipated” from them. I have no idea why they needed to do that.

Well, I have seen divorced fathers forced to pay for their children’s college tuition, even if they turn 21...I’d have to do a lot of legwork to find the case though.
