Ok, I'm 18, have been in college for two years and I live on campus. I do have a job, but it's 20 hours a week at 7.25 and they take out taxes, so not much. I also pay for school which is quite expensive. Over the past two years, I've taken 16-20 credit hours at a time with at least a lab, while working the 2nd year, being involved and with good grades. The first year, she was paying my school bill with my child support. The second year, she was doing the same, but a few days before it the money was due, she told me I had to pay it myself, but she still kept the child support though I wasn't living at home. I hope that better explains it, so it doesn't seem like I'm just a spoiled adult kid.
