What is the name of your state? Texas
So my youngest son turns 18 in a few months. He has for all intent and purposes completely blown off school. His first two years he went to school but only received 2 maybe 3 credits. He was well liked my the staff and they know he is plenty smart. I met with his teachers, vice Principal and counselors, but not living under the same roof effects my ability to help him. The school staff did not like working with my ex. Last year my ex wife enrolled him in a home based school where he completed about one months worth then he got a job and has been working for much of the past year. So he was truant the entire year but no one came asking. Now she has enrolled him in a self paced program call Penn Foster and she is expecting me to continue paying her child support until he graduates.
Is this something I should fight? She is the one that had control over him for the past 4 years and allowed him to fail. Why should I be forced to continue to pay when every effort I made to help him was met with resistance and hostility both from her and him? She doesn't work and has been home the entire time he went to school and during the home school time, she just didn't help him.
