Dad Cuts Off Ex-Wife’s ‘Child’ Support for Adult Kids, Sparks Heated Debate

Divorces can be messy, and child support is often a contentious issue. But what happens when the kids are all grown up, and the child support payments are still rolling in? One dad found himself in a tough spot after he stopped paying ‘child’ support to his ex-wife for their two adult daughters, aged 19 and 21. Despite covering 50% of their college tuition and room and board, his ex-wife is demanding he continue the payments for another three years. The dad is now questioning if he’s in the wrong for wanting to support his adult children directly instead of through his ex-wife.
