A father of three children has refused to pay his daughter’s college fees after she gave money to her mother. He controls a small education fund started by his great-grandmother for each of his children, to which he has added his own money. His ex-wife has never contributed to the fund but has always wanted equal control of it. He has always refused her request, and she has always gotten upset. He pays child support but has refused to give any money from the education fund. His son went to college, and the father paid the school every semester. His daughter insisted that he gives her the entire fund during her second year of college. He relented but made it clear that this was all the money for her college education, and she would have to find her own way if she needed more. She gave the money to her mother, and now she has run out of money. The father has refused to give her more money and has told her to find her own way. Is he being petty for refusing to pay for his daughter’s college education? Read on to find out.
