  • Daughter Sues Parents for Future College Tuition

    Bless her heart...

    A New Jersey teenager claiming her mother and father tossed her out of their Lincoln Park home and cut her off financially is suing them for immediate support, current private-school fees and future college tuition. The parents, meanwhile, say that daughter Rachel Canning, 18, moved out voluntarily after refusing to abide by their rules. A hearing in the unusual case is scheduled to take place on Tuesday in the Morris County Superior Court.

      Unfortunately for Rachel, Neumann says, “I don’t think she has much of a case. This sounds like just another 18-year-old who got into a thing with her parents.”
      And hopefully the judge will toss this one out without wasting the courts time. Little princess is going to have a hard time in life.

        Hopefully this is thrown out because this might actually lead to a dollar amount parents are owed to each of their children at birth, and at any point the children could cash out on this figure. At least according to my "slippery slope" estimates.

              I couldn't resist this link offered up in the first link... talk a bout a daughter who should need a lawyer.

              Call it the biggest Facebook mistake ever: A daughter’s brag on the social networking site has cost her father $80,000, which he won in a settlement during an age discrimination lawsuit.

                She is asking for $650 a week, the balance of her private high school tuition and college tuition.

                The age of majority for most of the United States is 18. This case should have been thrown out of court as her parents are no longer legally responsible for her.

                      Maybe Parents should also be able to sue their kids then when they drop out or get kicked out of college.

                        A judge Tuesday ruled against New Jersey teen Rachel Canning, who sued her parents for expenses and education tuition after she says they tossed her out of their Lincoln Park home last year.

                          No you don't.
                          You just realize that you will find greater enjoyment in life without them.
                          To say you hate them is to say you would have hated all of us at some point in our lives.

                            As much as I don't like the current educational system, I know some really good kids the same age as the twit in question. In my line of work I can even think of one or two 18-year-olds I would unhesitatingly hire ahead of more experienced adults for certain jobs, simply because these particular kids are harder-working, better people with less baggage. So they're not all like this girl.

                            One thing is clear about this case: whether you believe the parents' side or the girl's side, it's clearly the result of systematic parenting failures of some sort.
