A 21-year-old student has successfully sued her estranged parents for $16,000 college tuition even though she has not spoken to them in more than a year - and they are refusing to pay. Caitlyn Ricci and her parents Maura McGarvey and Michael Ricci, who are divorced, headed back to court in Camden, New Jersey on Monday, where a judge upheld his earlier ruling that they should pay towards her education at Temple University. But while they agreed to pay $906 for her community college costs, they said they will not pay a single cent of the $16,000 until Caitlyn  tries to have a relationship with them.
