How did your husband access the college fund? Was it in your son's name? If so, you can sue your husband for teeth or embezzlement, but I am sure your lawyer told you that. If you cannot do anything legally against him, open a gofundme and replenish the fund AFTER you turn the account in your son's name only

In this heartfelt letter, Angelica shares her shocking experience with her ex-husband, who used their son’s college fund to pay for his stepdaughter’s education.

This is Angelica’s letter:


Here’s what our readers had to say to Angelica.
- Not sure if the theft of money would be split between the two or if it would be returned. Fraud isn’t usually part of a compensation agreement, is it? Your ex-husband may get it back, but as he was already paying for the stepdaughter, it’s unlikely he’ll pay towards your joint son. © Mimi Darwish / Facebook
- She stole it, she should be taken to court and have to repay it. If you both present it in court, you should win. She also said she was using it for the daughter’s college. When she was only stealing it. © Kenda Shelby / Facebook
- There is nothing you can do unless your divorce papers clearly state your husband agreed to pay for your son’s college. Legal obligation for support general ends at age18 or graduation from high school. But it’s very likely your ex-husband will receive half of the savings his current wife has amassed in his second divorce. He may choose to reallocate that award to your son’s education. © Donna Petterson / Facebook
- I can’t imagine how tough this must be, especially since that money was supposed to help your son’s future. It’s really important to focus on protecting his interests right now. It might be a good idea to get more legal advice about the college fund and what you can do next, especially with what your ex has done. Don’t let his betrayal take your focus away from what’s best for your son. © Lucy Hems / Facebook
