College dropout sues parents for further college tuition.

Assemblyman Chris J. Brown wants to prevent what happened to Michael Ricci and Maura McGarvey from happening to any other parents.

Caitlyn Ricci, a 2012 graduate of Washington Township High School, filed a lawsuit against her parents after they refused to pay for her to attend an out-of-state university.

"This is all crazy to me," said Brown.

After Ricci's case made headlines, Brown said he got calls and emails from friends and constituents who were dismayed by the judge's decision, which orders Ricci's parents to pay $16,000 toward her education at Temple University. The judge specifically cited a 1982 state Supreme Court ruling that determined divorced parents must contribute to their adult children's higher education.

Brown added there's more to the story than initially reported, including the fact Ricci and McGarvey previously funded classes Caitlyn Ricci took at Rowan College at Gloucester County, then Gloucester County College. When she didn't complete her education there, he said, they set her up in Florida for an internship program that she was ultimately asked to leave. Her parents then cracked down, spurring Ricci to move in with her grandparents and initiate a string of court filings regarding emancipation and tuition bills.

College FTL.

So true, College FTL.

College is destroying the American family man.

You are really stretching on this one

Loco makes some dope threads for a long time now props

But I don't know dude sounds like rich people problems

college stabbed him and took his noodles

Since when is it a legal entitlement for your parents to pay for college? If they can and are willing to pay great but have to? That's crazy...

America and teenagers today "Shakes head and walks away just muttering "nonononocrazycrazycray""

But i am shocked that a court actually voted that the parents should pay, its insane and makes a mockery of the legal system in america.

All other places in the world such a lawsuit wouldn't even get into the door of any lawyers office let alone make any judge not burst out laughing and send the kid out with a huge "hey get a job you deadbeat" Your parents are not required to pay your way.

The girl is a sociopath - she does what it takes to benefit her, not caring about what harm it does to others in the process. She doesn't care what harm she does to her parents and if she says otherwise, it's to just hid the fact she's a sociopath.... What do think would happen should grandma and grandpa upset her and kick her to the curb because she's a dumb bitch? She'll turn on them like she did her parents and treat them like shit in the process as well.

Who made all those family men, you might ask?

That's incredibly stupid. I'd disown the bitch.

The fact this wasn't struck dead by even her own attorney let alone the court, really baffles me.

Teh army?

@GazaAli: That is Guile from Street Fighter II. When the player or computer wins with him, he says "Go home and be a family man!" I guess there are still people who have not played this. I am done with my tangent. Back to the thread.

I think it's pretty crazy that she was sided with.
