The right thing is what was right a month ago. A month ago he felt my son had contributed ALOT to his education by maintaining a high average in college and providing a significant amount of his expenses in the form of scholarships. We felt it was important for him to continue working hard during the school year and keept those grades up and scholarships rather than take a job, get lower grades, and therefore higher bills. At the time, our combined income was high enough that we were able to provide this kind of support for him. There is no reason why stbx cannot continue to pay for what he has already promised, Now, I agree that our circumstances have changed and now , yes, we may not be able to continue to pay for what we have promised in the past- for the future. But past bills we have told him we would pay ARE our responsibility. And I do feel more STBX/s then mine. Because in his attempts to pump up his already inflated ego he would hand son scholarship checks (non-earmarked ones) and say- here spend how you want- you deserve it. Much to my shock and my objection. I also think divorce is hard enough on the offspring of divorced parents and by saying to son- well mom and I screwed up our lives, so tough luck grow up.... Yes, life is not fair, but we have responsibilities to him regardless of his age.
