In reply to the discussion: 18 year old sues parents for kicking her out and not paying her tuition [View all]bravenak
(34,648 posts)She's a grown woman now and she can do as she pleases, but it sounds like she may have to pay for it herself. Just as her parents can do as they please with their money. Unless she funded the account, it's not her money. Her Parents may be controlling which sucks for her, but she seems to be quite expensive and they may not like her enough to pay for her lifestyle. If she wants to live the lifestyle she's accustomed to she has to either pay for it herself, or make up with her parents. Life's not fair or easy, she will be a better person for learning that now as opposed to later.
If you want to run your own life as an autonomous adult it costs money. If you want to go to a private school and university it costs lots of money, and nobody owes that to their child. Most can't afford it and she has been very fortunate in her lifestyle up until she reached her majority. Very fortunate.
