NJ teen suing parents for tuition loses court battle

CAMDEN (WPVI) -- A South Jersey college student who sued her estranged parents for college tuition has lost a court battle.

Action News Investigative Reporter Wendy Saltzman first reported on the battle between Caitlyn Ricci and her divorced parents.

Ricci had asked a judge to force them to pay $16,000 for her out-of-state tuition at Temple University.

In December 2014, Maura McGarvey and Matthew Ricci refused and then appealed that decision to a higher court.

On Friday, a judge found in the parents favor.

Her parents told Action News in 2014 they were willing to pay for her education in state, in New Jersey, under certain conditions.
