The judgement is immaterial. If I were the father, I would not pay a dime. What would the sentence be? A year? Fine. Just try to collect.

I wonder, is it too late for the parents to legally disown their daughter? Would they still be forced to pay?

Actually, this ruling opens up some interesting areas. Is it now legal to force one adult to pay for another adult's college education? Fine. I want to go back for my Master's Degree. I think Laz should pay. I'll sue him using this case as precedent.

I want a pony. Pay for it or I sue.

Once adult and estranged, you are a stranger and no more family.

I agree that the parents shouldn't be forced to pay her tuition.

But, I just explained this on another thread: Here in NJ, when parents divorce, they are required to pay their children's college tuition.

For the record, I don't agree with the law. I didn't write the law. I'm just explaining that this ruling is very common here.

The only thing unusual about this case is that the daughter is the one bringing her parents to court. (Usually one parent brings the other to court.)

If the parents are forced to pay, shouldn't they, in turn, then have the right to choose the college the daughter attends, say, a much cheaper college, like an in-state public college? I understand Temple is an expensive private college.

Myself, either I would appeal or I wouldn't pay.

Does this ruling apply to just her undergraduate studies?

What would have happened if the daughter had chosen an expensive college in Europe? Would the parents have been forced to pay those expenses also? In my opinion, the judge is way off base.
