Sorry for the long drawn out write up but wanted to provide some background.
She's been divorced from her ex-husband for nearly 14-16 years. They decided that he would have custody of her who's now 17.5 years old. On the divorce decree that was granted I believe in 2006, she was to pay an agreed amount per month, and she was supposed to have visitation rights with her daughter twice per month.
Since the divorce, there was some communication between them but eventually faded over time. When she tried reaching out to him (ex-husband/daughter) he apparently moved from NY to FL without her knowledge.
She couldn't pay the monthly payment for several years and when she finally got in touch with him, he'd told her that he'd moved with their daughter. She went to Child Support unit but they told her she did not have a case on file. He also told her that she needed to pay whatever child supports arrears was owed to him. My wife paid and is currently up to date with payments that they'd agreed on (extra when she's able to provide).
Her daughter continues to visit periodically when she's in town but is continuing her studies in college. She had asked last year for some monies for tuition/trip which she provided.
Her daughter will turn 18 in Dec 2021.
_______________________________________
Just a few questions:
He's demanding that she pay $2500 for tuition when she at this point cannot pay? Does she legally have to pay?
Was it illegal for him to have left NY to FL without notifying her? Or court? Was this move legal?
He's now threatening legal action against her to pay tuition fees she doesn't have. Does he have legal grounds?
Thanks for any information.
