DD 18 is off to university in September (hopefully). Her dad has stated he will be finishing paying maintenance for her now she is 18. I asked if he would be giving her some sort of contribution whilst at university and he has said no. Her choice to attend university, so she pays.
She will be entitled to a full maintenance loan. I am wondering if I would be seen as unreasonable to ask for a contribution from dad when she is home during the holidays. She has not stayed with him overnight for nearly ten years, I think he has forgotten how much an extra body in the home costs.
DD has SEN, attending university is a big deal (something we never thought would happen). Asking her to get a job at the same time is not feasible.
Dad has always paid maintenance as worked out by the CMS.
