flor1212 for a man, you are definatly not on the side of the father, or his rights to do what he thinks best for the child. The mother is just a money grabbing b1tc8 and does not deserve a penny, the child is 13, the court could have ruled to put a lump of money in a trust fund for her to have when she was 18, and until then the same trust fund could have paid her a monthly allowance appropriate to a 13year old. As it is the mother is trying to get better for herself not the child or she would have gone down the trust route. The mother has probably remarried and the new husband will probably try to get his hands on it. She left him and from that point, or the latest the day the divorce was final, the mother should only get what was agreed in the divorce settlement and any windfalls after the event are nothing to with her, only his child.
