Mother put father through college. Father renigged to do same for mother. The expectation of their kids was that they would go to college and that the parents would support them. Parents divorced. At week before college is to start, father pulled financial backing away from each of his three children. Do kids have any recourse? Youngest daughter just turned 18, living with mother and father is 'punishing her' for this and withdrawing all financial support in an effort to damage her ability to succeed.

Legally, no. There are no required qualifications to be a parent, and lots of parents should never have been.
