Hey everyone
Anyways when my mom and dad divorced, on the papers my dads agreement was to pay 25,000 in the first 2 years of college and then another 25,000 in the other 2 years of college.
When I was in high school hearing this made me stop caring so much about getting into college knowing I wouldnt be able to get in the school I could go into unless I have the money or take a loan in which I did not want to do.
Anyways not wanting to take out a loan and balancing my budget, I planned to go to community college in the first 2 years and be able to go to a nice university in the next 2.
For the 1st year I had a GPA of 3.4 and my dad only sent me 5,000.
I thought my Dad was going to give me 20,000 in the next year so I wasnt that bummed out...and considering I didnt need that much for cc.
So now on my 2nd year of community college and almost ending my 1st semester, my Dad only gives me 2,500.....
I was shocked to find out......My dad claims hes only makes 20,000 in divorce papers...but hes living in a high security apartment complex with a lot of celebs....has a black american express card...i call BS.Investment banker that does projects like skype etc..
Im just bummed what to do now....If I knew my dad was going to not keep his word....I would of done something totally different with my life after high school. At least worked a full time job saving money for college.
Since it is in the divorce papers and is an agreement, I was just wondering what actions I can take.. I asked my mom and she says its your problem now..... (she is very stressed about the divorce)...but still it was dissapointing to know that I have no parent to turn to even for advice.
I told my Dad thats straight up BS, how u cant keep ur word thats on the PAPERS. If I need to Sue him I will.
Im getting tired of playing games with him. Im over this whole divorce drama.
I just want what i can from my Dad and get my college money and move on with my life.
For example, with that 25,000 in the first 2 years. I can easily put that money in a CD and grow interest on it so I can be more comfortable but my DAD cant keep his word on a simple agreement.
Anyways I need to do something about this situation instead of just sitting around. Is there a lawyer I can contact for free? Do i contact my grandparents?
I just dont know what to do......
