I need an answer from any one who might know. My daughter is now 19 and had moved out from her dad's house as soon as she was 18 and she was found to be emancipated and I was relieved from child support. Now her aunt is calling my house and stated I have to pay for her college. It was not stated in the divorce nor in the child support order that I would be responsible for her college so what do I do? Can her aunt try to sue me?

I am recently in college myself and from my understanding she is own her own and you shouldn't have to pay for her college and neither does the dad . If she gets the Pell or Hope Grant--if your state has it-- then you have nothing to worry about. Since she is out on her own she can fill in the form for the grants and her college should be paid for. She needs to talk to the financial aid dept. at her school and she needs to tell them she is on her own and the college should be paid with the exception of her books. Don't let them tell her she has to use yours and/or your X's income, it needs to be based on her income whether she has a job our not. That is the way it is in Ga. it might be different in Ohio. What has she done to make you think she can sue you. If her aunt is not paying for nothing she needs to keep her mouth shut and let you and your X deal with your daughter future. If it has nothing to do with her.

Thank-you for your reply. I thought that I was right about my daughter being on her own. The one aunt loves to cause trouble all the time. I just found out that my daughter moved out from the one aunt into another aunts house and is working and now she said something about needing child support info. Which I'm confused about. I haven't had to pay child support since she first turned 18 and moved out from her dad's house. She was found to be an adult by the court's.

Then the aunt is just trying to cause a problem what I would do in your case is record the phone convesation with the mean aunt and tey to get her for harrassment. Since she is legally an adult the aunt has no business trying to get child support. In my opinion the aunt is blowing smoke, she is trying to scare you into doing it.I would contact an attorney who gives free consultations and ask him about it. I don't want to steer you in the wrong direction, like I said before Ga. laws may be different from Ohio.

My daughter just called and she is making all these threats. I found out that she does drugs and so I called her and asked her not to call my house no more. My Ex. checked it out and the college told him the same thing, that she is an adult now. Thanks for your reply again. T

I'm sorry, I can't say that I know what you are going through, my kids are still to young, but I will through it eventually, even though I hope I don't, I can't imagine the pain.
