Our eldest child turned 18 last month after graduating from high-school earlier this year. My ex says he no longer a child of the marriage. Eldest child will be attending a college program full-time commencing September. Ex refuses to help eldest in any way with college and refuses to pay child support because child is no longer a "child of the marriage."
Ex stole > $10,000 from eldest child's trust fund (it was in child's name) during 2001, before we separated.
Ex argues that since eldest child applied to the college program after turning 18, eldest cannot be considered a "child of the marriage", therefore he is no longer responsible to assist said child with post-secondary education and no longer is responsible for paying child support.
How do you think a family law court would look at it?
