The Family Foundation School

Hancock, NY

Stella of Brooklyn, NY October 9, 2009

My son attended the Family School on 9/16/06 until 6/27/09- completing his H.S. educational requirements with excellent grades. However, he was not given his diploma nor is he eligible to get any school certified academic transcripts to continue on with his education.

In 2002, I was legally divorced by the Supreme Court in the State of New York. In the Divorce Judgement and then again in the Stipulation dated 11/15/06, my ex was mandated to pay all educational expenses for my son (100%). In addition, my ex was mandated by Family Court in the State of New York in 2006 to pay for my son's tuition at the Family School. My ex was the only one that signed the contractual agreement with the school holding him financially responsible. Furthermore, in January of 2009, the Supreme Court of New York issued a money judgement for my ex to pay the outstanding monies immediately. To date, the funds have not been paid and the school is holding me financially responsible. The school has made 2 offers to resolve this but the offers were only made to me and not to the party resposible for his obligation.

My ex is not to be found. It is believe he has left the country. At the request of the school, I sent all my financial information (copies of tax return/letter of hardship) to show that I am unable to afford the outstanding balance which I am not responsible for. In addition, I forwarded all the legal documents to show that I am not responsible.

MY COMPLIANT: This school is not honoring THE SUPREME COURT OF NEW YORK's paperwork. It is hard enough on my son that his father has abandoned him and now the School has done the same. The School refuses to answer my correspondence regarding their actions in obtaining payment from my ex.
