So glad to hear that things have been sorted out in your favour. The ridiculous situation means that I'm imagining it as "Judge Judy" in my head!!
As the title of my post says, my elder sister has been awful to my dad in the past (and to our mum). My mums first husband, my sis's dad, left my mum for another woman when the kids were babies - literally just dissapeared. My dad was there for her and obviously thought nothing of taking on her kids, but my sister treated him with nothing but contempt for many years (put it this way, my sister is now 39, the sit. only resolved itself a few years back!). She left the house to go live with her dad, blaming it on my mum, and even now still calls my dad by his first name although my half brother doesn't. She honestly acted like a brat to me and my younger brother, being deliberately cruel to us because she was so jealous, and didn't see my mum for 6 years. I know how disruptive this can be!
Hopefully at age 21 your step daughter will settle down soon and begin to realise all that she's done, especially since her own mum has been forced to admit what a troublemaker she is. It must also be embarassing to have this pointed out by a judge! This might be the catalyst for change.
I agree with you about not paying for your kids. Myself and my elder brother both have had to and are working our way through University, and it has caused no trauma, believe me! I see people here whose student digs are payed for by their parents and they more likely than not end up failing their course. You appreciate it more when you have to work for it, I think.
On the other end of the scale, my friend has had trouble getting his extremely wealthy father paying his course fees for him (over here, if you don't write down your parents income you can't get any help with fees, etc)and its so sad, esp. since your husband obviously tries to do all he can for his kids.
As you can guess from my ramblings my major is English, ha ha! I don't know about your other troubles your family has suffered but I hope things settle down now,
hugs and joint moonlight,
Lavenderstar
