My ex-husband decided to use half of our son’s college fund to pay for his stepdaughter’s education. I was furious when I found out, but he brushed it off, saying, “I earned that money, not you!”

I immediately called my lawyer. The next day, my lawyer set up an urgent meeting and insisted that my ex be there too. During the meeting, we were both shocked by what we learned — his wife and stepdaughter had been lying to him from the very beginning.

It turns out the stepdaughter had earned a full scholarship and wasn’t using any of the money for college. Instead, his wife had secretly opened another account and had been taking thousands of dollars from him for years.

When he confronted her, she admitted she had been planning to leave him and had already met someone new. Now, they’re in the process of filing for divorce.

I feel completely lost and heartbroken. That money was supposed to be for my son’s future, and now everything is a mess. Do you have any advice for me?
