When Patrick was 18, W filed a petition to modify the final judgment of divorce in order to have H pay for college for Patrick. The reasons advanced for this decree was that H was wealthy, that Patrick had the aptitude, that H refused to contribute, and that both W and H had attended college. The trial court modified the decree and H appealed.
