He’s Refusing To Pay His Daughter’s Tuition After She Dropped Out Of Her First Choice Of College
Every set of parents has a different plan in place for when their child goes off to college. Some parents are well-off enough to cover full tuition costs; some have their children take out student loans, etc.
One man is refusing to pay his daughter’s tuition costs after she dropped out of her first choice of college.
He’s 54 and has a 25-year-old daughter Cassie. He divorced Cassie’s mom 23 years ago. Cassie has lived with her mom most of the time but would stay with him on weekends growing up.
He takes a lot of pride in how he was able to provide for Cassie over the years. He always paid child support and got her whatever she needed, from new clothes to vacation tickets.
“As she got older, I tried to teach her lessons about work ethic, good education, and a meaningful and lucrative career,” he explained.
Cassie’s mom pressured her to go to a state school for college, and she settled on a school she wasn’t crazy about.
He started paying all her tuition costs, and she was a great student. She was taking a total of 18 credits and made it on the Dean’s list during her first few semesters. But then, things started going downhill.
After two years at school, Cassie’s academic performance worsened. Her credit count went down, and she started failing classes.
“It didn’t make sense,” he said.

“Eventually, she told me she couldn’t do school anymore and just wanted to work and make her own money. What teenager doesn’t want a free ride with no [care]? I was paying for everything. All she had to do was study.”
He and Cassie got into a massive fight over her dropping out of school, leading to them not speaking for quite a while.
But a few weeks ago, he finally heard from Cassie. She called him to let him know that she and her mom had moved to North Carolina, which was across the country from him. She also told him she was ready to return to college but would need his help with tuition.
He refuses to pay Cassie’s tuition and thinks that since she’s now 25, she should be able to figure out the situation on her own. Since refusing, things have been very tense between him, Cassie, and his ex.
Is he being too harsh with his daughter?
