Suing the bar association . . .

Here's the story in a nutshell. My divorce agreement says Dad must pay for the college education of his kids until each one either reaches the age of 23 or completes a bachelor's degree.

Son #2 is 20; suffers from bi-polar disease (probably like his father, although there may be more serious problems with Dad); and is a freshman at a junior college in a para-legal program; lives at home with Mom.

Mom is more than 50 and outside the employment loop, working always as a temp or substitute teacher or retail clerk; almost never earns above the federal poverty level ($9,300).

Dad drives a Mercedes and his second wife a Jaguar. They live in a $3M house. He also owns a large boat that he keeps on the lake where he lives.

Dad decided not to pay tuition for Son #2. Open and shut contempt.

Lawyers tell Mom that she must pay a $750 retainer for 10 hours legal work at a reduced fee of $75/hour.

At Mom's two jobs, she grosses $57/day (but must pay health insurance herself) and $8.91/hour.

This is justice? The Bar Association, who referred the lawyers to Mom, thereby supports fathers who shirk on their responsibility.
