the man is not just cheap, he is stupid. if she is sick like you say, and she runs up doctors bills and medical bills and prescription bills and hospital bills, then her parents (YOU and HIM) can get sued and forced to pay.
come see me, and I will explain things to him. by the way, if she is disabled and part time in college, and living with you, then HE still owes child support to YOU.
call me up, I will be glad to help you. Give me a call, make an appointment to come see me, and I will go over this with you, and give you some advice.

She is not emancipated until a court says she is. You'll have to file a motion. Call me at 732/773/2768 to discuss further.
He is required to provide support as required by the property settlement agreement. Apparently, the agreement requires support to the age of 23, if she attends college full-time. If the college says that 12 credits of studies make her a full-time student, she is.
