Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina
Mediated terms
My ex agreed to pay for my son's
college tuition equal to in-state
amount however he had to go out of
state because no school offered what
he wanted to major in in-state. NOw
the ex refuses to pay because he said
I did not send him info on where he
applied to schools and what
scholarships he applied for (he did not
get any scholarships) and that is a
violation of my son's privacy act so
he asked me not to send it to the ex.
Do i have a case to file a rule to show
cause?

Re: Mediated terms
Your only option at this point would be to file a Rule to Show Cause to see what the Court might do. Based on the limited information you provided, I think that the Court will probably _not_ make him pay more than what the "in state" tuition would have been.
However, your refusal (or your son's refusal) to provide any information to him gives him a good defense, as how can he be expected to pay anything when he is not provided the relevant information on that issue.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
