In reply to the discussion: 18 year old sues parents for kicking her out and not paying her tuition [View all]pnwmom
(109,056 posts)payment they legally contracted last spring to pay. If they wanted to leave themselves an out, they should have purchased tuition insurance. Otherwise, they would be obligated to pay the school even if the daughter wasn't attending it.
All private schools have to develop budgets in the spring for the coming school year, and they do this based on the number of signed enrollment contracts that they have. Parents who sign these contracts and renege, even though they have the financial means to pay, are deadbeats, IMO.
Did you manage to overlook the part where her daughter accused them of physical abuse? What if that was true? Don't you think it is even a possibility that the girl may be being truthful -- as the school personnel clearly think. (The parents reneged on the tuition, by the way, after the school fulfilled its legal obligation to report possible abuse.)
This wouldn't be the first case where a cop brought thuggish behavior home, would it?
