It's another one of those "you can't make this kind of stuff up" stories.
A New Jersey high school senior sued her parents, accusing them of tossing her out of the family
home when she turned 18 and refusing to pay for her private high school and college education.
In a lawsuit, Rachel Canning of Lincoln Park, New Jersey, asked a court to have her parents
pay the outstanding tuition for her private high school, pay her living and transportation
expenses for the foreseeable future, use money from an existing college fund to pay for at
least some of her college education, and pay her legal bills.
At a hearing Tuesday in New Jersey State Superior Court, a judge denied the request for high
school tuition and current living expenses. Another hearing will be held in April to deal
with the other issues in the suit, including college costs.
