Although I don't think you should have to pay, there is no clear cut answer either way. She can and most likely will take you to court. You need a good lawyer to fight for you to say that you should not have to pay. Should be an interesting case.

Call me at 732/247/3340 to discuss the case.

Re: college tuition

I believe that you have a right to object to your daughter making a college choice without consulting you.

She is required to use all available scholarships, grants and aid before you

become obligated to pay.

Call me if you like.
