So me and my mom have been in this court battle against my so called "father" and a descision was finally made. It didn't go our way.
We were fighting to have my father uphold the separation agreement he signed saying that he would pay for my post-secondary education. The judgement that the judge came up with was essentially that I'm living commonlaw under the "trappings" of adult life and while he realizes I don't have the money for school it's not my father's responsibility legally, he did I guess say something about it being his moral obligation, but really what the hell does that mean.
He essentialy said that since I'm living commonlaw that my husband should be supporting me, he even gave BS numbers about what he would earn and didn't take into account the fact that my boyfriend (yes, I still call him that, we never had a ceremony to say we're married, so I therefore don't think it counts) has a chronic Illness (Colitis) which can prevent him from working, he has in fact just gotten back to work after being off for 3 months and in the hospital for a couple weeks. So no he won't be making the money that was stated in the judgement, and his illness was brought up in court.
The only illness that was taken into account was the fact that my father had 2 heart attacks. Oh boo fucking hoo, you had heart attacks because you're a fucking whale who doesn't exercise or eat right, someone who had to buy a bigger truck because he couldn't fit into the old one. Besides that does everyone want to know what he'll be making not working? $2500, every two weeks. that's $5000 a month, and $60000 a year, and him and his wife have insane tax deductions, she gets at least a $20000 deduction for being a "caretaker" of her son. Plus a whole slew of other things. So they'll probably even be getting taxes back, hell they probably have their mortgage paid for. And they're complaining about being broke now. The only reason they're saying that is because he's not making the $150 000 that he's made for the past 3 years.
I've essentially never seen a dime of help aside from one time that I asked, and that was to pay for the plane tickets to come home to be at my boyfriend's father's funeral, 2 years ago.
So the judge looked at his income, looked at my boyfriends, looked at mine, and looked at my mom's and came to the conclusion that the person making the most should have no finacial obligation to his child. awesome.
What I don't get is why this had to go to family law, and not contract law. He signed a legally binding (or so we thought) contract, one that was more than fair (my mom didn't take anything because she was asking for my schooling). Essentially then separation agreements are pointless if people can just go to court and overturn them.
I hope his new wife bleeds him dry like I know she's planning to.

What saddens me most is that he probably knew all this would happen as soon as you hit the right age to go to school. He probably used that to get out of giving your mother anything in the divorce (since she'd *think* he'd at least pay for your education). So now, he got away with giving her nothing, and he gets to give you nothing.
