- "Fairly accurate?" Apart from your inability to distinguish
- three-letter names... Child-related emergencies can be covered
- by insurance (provided by the NCP!) -- or will you now say that
- a CP might have to buy an emergency bicycle or pony or condo in Florida?
-
-
- In Pennsylvania, a NCP is not obligated to pay for college.
- Thus, even the *law*, which you so religiously like to invoke,
- says that college is not a basic need.
-
- There should be no LEGAL obligation to pay for college or to
- pay child support that includes money to be saved for college.
- Married parents are not legally required to pay for college.
-
- Are you going to pay for your foster son's college education
- all by yourselves, Sue?
-
- I'm going to, for my kids. That's the only reason I could imagine
- to call my money "precious." And what better reason is there to make
- sure that nobody is required to spend ANY part of such money on
- Florida condos instead of on a college education?
