I guess i should be a little more specific, but my head spinning as this happening right before xms, and my poor wife running around and missing work for me because of this, and her poor son suffering from this. I have and been paying 1/2 of his tuition and the first year (last year) i paid for 1/2 his dorm, he is in his sec. year at suffolk (boston), plus half his books, i have given him extra money here and there, i have had his car fixed. The ex pays for the other half, but this year 2006 he got the apartment in sept. And per my ex this past may my son supposedly told me he hates the dorm with the partying and drinking, it wasn't may it was august he told me, and i told my son, i can't afford it to stay home and we all save for you, but he didn't. I have talked to him and he agrees and he has told me he pays for his car, his car insurance and some other things, but he won't tell his mom she is wrong. She thinks she knows everything and i will assume has it good with the judges in plymouth county as she is an attorney. My wife works in boston, he could commute with her, he could commute himself, he could live with his mom but doesn't really like her for some reason, he loves his step mom and he could live with us, but doesn't. Spoiled is right, but like i said after the new year I will find an attorney. I was in court for contempt on our divorce agreement which only states half his college expenses and to me that is not lights, food, cable, car, car insurance etc. That is books and tuition which i have been paying with no problem or no argument. Plus the little extra here and there which i give him. Contempt came down as me found guilty and to spend my time in jail from 30 to 60 days until i could come up with the money, the mediator in the plymouth probate court asn't any help either. I tried to argue this myself (dumb me) attorney next time, but no one listened. Everyone i talk to say i am half right, maybe ok to pay the rent, but he should still have a roommate!! Who knows maybe i am off my rocker thinking this is crazy. but i feel so screwed it really won't be a joyous xmas around here today!! i hope some on this board can help me with some info or if anyone needs more info just ask. But i do pay half his college education, that is what or div. agree says, which to me is tuition and books and maybe pay 1/2 for his transportation which would be public transportation!! THANKS! any info - help - opinions - would be appreciate, and merry xmas to everyone
