[Date & reference] 1997-10-16 Electronic Telegraph More students sue their parents By Auslan Cramb, Scottish Correspondent
ANOTHER two students are suing their parents for financial support following a court case in which a law student demanded £400 in living costs from his mother. [A], 19, a chemical engineering student, has won legal aid to sue his father, [C], 41, from Evesham, Worcs, for £250 a month. And [P], 17, has taken her father to court to seek £200 a month to support her through exams at college. In the latest case, [C] has been asked to double the support he is giving to his son at Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh. He has been estranged from both his teenage sons for 18 months following an acrimonious divorce from their mother, [D], who lives in Crossford, Fife. He said yesterday that he began making payments of £125 a month earlier this year, which was all he could afford from his £22,000 salary. He paid £44 a week while his eldest son [A] was living at home, and still pays £33 through the Child Support Agency for his 17-year-old son, [B]. Mr [C] said yesterday that he planned to contest the case.
