Four women were furious after their father refused to make college tuition payments so they decided to sue their father in court, according to court proceedings in New York.
The four women filed their lawsuit in New York City against their own father, saying that he backed out of a promise to pay college tuition for his youngest daughter.
Nora, Magdalena, Lola, and Ina Kelleher filed the lawsuit against their father, Daniel Kelleher, a child psychologist based in Connecticut, in Manhattan Supreme Court.
The lawsuit alleged that Daniel Kelleher agreed to give his daughters an apartment in Paris and half of his checking account he shared with their mother, Sylvie Furstenberg, his former wife. The apartment generates rental income of about $2,600 a month.
Nora, Magdalene, and Ina agreed to give portions of the rent of the apartment in Paris to pay half the tuition of Lola at Oberlin College. The other half of Lola’s tuition should have been paid by the parent, the lawsuit alleged.
The parties signed documents on the agreement in June 2012.
Daniel Kelleher violated the contract with his daughters by refusing to comply in good faith with his obligation to transfer the monthly rental income less maintenance expenses of the Paris apartment for the months of July and August 2012 to his four daughters, according to the lawsuit.
The sisters are seeking $5,300 in tuition payments, according to the lawsuit.
