Colorado
My former husband, a multi-multi millionaire, was obligated by divorce decree to support our daughter until her 19th birthday (yes, he had a better attorney than I did). It was always our understanding that he would pay for her college education. He paid for the first semester and a half, then decided, after a falling out, that he wasn't going to pay anymore. I make a decent living, but the college expenses are pushing my daughter and I further and further into debt. My question: Would a suit against her father likely be successful? He did demonstrate his intent to fulfill the responsibility by beginning to pay for her education. She gets straight As, doesn't have any social problems (drugs, etc), doesn't have a criminal record; she works part-time while in school.
I am ambivalent about this question of a lawsuit, but wondered what others might think about it.
Thank you, Teena
