Now to the family feud. Parents and their estranged daughter battling in court over college tuition. The young woman wants them to pay thousands for her education. And she has the law on her side. ABC's Linzie Janis is here with that story. Catelyn Richie's parents say they're willing to cricket, but on their terms, not hers. And don't believe that a judge should make a parenting decision about what school to go to and how much to spend on college. This morning Mauer a Mcgarvey and Michael Richie are pleading with their daughter to end a two-year legal battle over tuition. This has gone on long enough.
