Judge Rejects Financial Support Requests By New Jersey Teen Suing Parents

A New Jersey honor student suing her parents in a potentially precedent-setting lawsuit had her motions for financial support, including high school tuition payment, denied Tuesday by a judge who said it would set a bad precedent by setting limits on parenting.

Rachel Canning, 18, of Morris Catholic High School, was denied her requests for child support of $654 a week as well as thousands of dollars in attorney fees and immediate reimbursement of her high school tuition.

Morris County Court Judge Peter Bogaard also ruled that Rachel’s parents must keep her on their health insurance policy and keep status quo on all college savings accounts set up for her.

“I’m a liberal, liberal parent,” he said. “I wish I could have grown up in my house. I was tougher on my cops at work than I’ve ever been at my home, that’s for sure.”

Therein lies the problem

Maybe she should get her boyfriend to support her. Someone also needs to take her best friends father out and give him a swift kick too. If he has 12k to spend on this court case and is so worried about her let him pay for it out of his own pocket and see how she follows the rules in his house.

Simple question. How do cases like this even make it to court?

In the court proceedings yesterday, she showed no remorse or emotions, while her parents who sat at the next table barely held it together.

Very tragic situation.

This is the future of America's youth and their relationship with their parents. No discipline at home and growing up in the entitlement liberal mindset enviroment is creating little monsters that may look nice on the outside.

Frivolous lawsuits continue.Another campaign promise completely forgotten after the election,and it was not Obama who promised to stop frivolous lawsuits.Issues like this particular trial solidify the US as the world's laughing stock.

WHAT kind of ruling is this. She is graduated from high school and is 18. There is no law you MUST carry health insurance, thatis her problem. The law is, you are allowed to carry up to the age of 25. And Collage savings, that is also up to the parents. Just because they saved for her, does not mean that HAVE to give it to her. Again, Our wonderful legal system. Make laws up as you go.

Spoiled Brat. The parents spared the rod and spoiled this child. Kick her out and send her on her way. Hell, I worked and paid for my four years college tuition. No students loans or grants were used. I worked hard. This "pretty" girl thinks everything is supposed to be handed to her.
