It would be interesting to here her opinion on how old she will be before they don't have to support her?

This. It shouldn't make it past the first hearing. As an adult her parents are in no way required to support her.

My parents told me that I had to live by their rules if I lived under their roof, so I moved out and supported myself after I was done with high school. It's called being an independent adult, and a lesson that more kids need to learn in today's society.

We have 529 plans for each of our three kids, but I believe they are in our name with the kids listed as beneficiaries. We determine how the money is spent, though we are penalized if it doesn't go to post-secondary education expenses.
