My Ex-Husband Spent the Money Saved for Our Son on His Stepdaughter

My ex-husband is wasting our son’s college money on his stepdaughter’s education. He said, “I’m the one who worked for it. You sat at home!’ I had to call my lawyer. Next day, my lawyer asked for an emergency meeting and insisted that my ex should come with me.

We froze in shock when we found out that his wife and stepdaughter had been lying to him from the start. Turns out that his stepdaughter earned a full scholarship and isn’t using a dime of the money for her college. Instead, his wife had been deceitful and opened a separate, secret account with thousands of dollars she had been taking from him for years.

After he confronted her, she admitted that she had been planning to leave him for some time and had met someone new. They are now working on their divorce papers. I feel lost and devastated right now. That money was meant for my son’s future. Do you have any advice for me?
