If you agreed with your father to have him cash in the dorm payment so you could use it for a car as you were not living on campus, what makes you think you also have a right to get the monies back? Unless he breached the agreement, I do not think you have any legal argument. If he cashed in the dorm contract and then did not give you the monies, you may have a claim against him. In order to try and enforce this, your mother would have to reopen the divorce and file a motion for contempt against him by explaining exactly what he did and how it was a breach of the court order.
