My 20 year old Daughter is completing her college degree this April. I have asked my ex wife to contact FRO to have the support payments stopped. she is refusing, and informed me that since I have not turned over my income tax forms that she will be taking me to court to have an adjustment ordered because she feels I should give her more money.
At the age of 18 my daughter took a year off before going to college. At this point she lived at home, paid rent to her Mom and held a full time job. According to the terms of our separation agreement I should have been able to terminate support payments. But, knowing my Dauhter would be returning to school, I opted to continue paying and started to negotiate with my Ex to have the payments go directly to my Daughter.this never happened. she continued to pay off her mortgage with the money.
Next. My Daughter received a large inheritance from my Great uncle after he passed. He had left her enough money to pay for her college experience.
For the last two years my daughters rent, tuition and supplies have all been paid for.keep in mind this inheritance was hers, not mine or my ex wife's and my Uncle was very specific about this in his will.
My thinking here is that since my daughter was 18 (Of age) she has not been a dependent, but has provided for her self in every way.
Should I not be able to recoup the last three years of payments?
