A high school senior's lawsuit against her mother and father for financial support and college tuition hit a hurdle Tuesday when a New Jersey judge denied the teenager's request for immediate financial assistance from the parents.

Rachel Canning, 18, alleges in her lawsuit that her parents forced her out of their Lincoln Park, New Jersey home, and that she is unable to support herself financially. The lawsuit asks that her parents pay the remaining tuition for her last semester at her private high school, pay her current living and transportation expenses, commit to paying her college tuition and pay her legal fees for the suit she filed against her parents.

Her parents say she left home because she didn't want to obey their rules.

I guess not going to college is not an option. I guess she can't just fly to San Francisco and land a rich boyfriend and live well for the rest of her life.

We need to introduce Rachel to Bert. Bert will support her financially in exchange for "companionship".

She's probably just fishing for some stupid reality show.

So she is basically homeless? Sounds like the judge was a prick.

I strongly doubt it, considering she had her friend's parents pay for her legal fees, I assume they would also give her a roof to sleep under.

The look on her face after the judges ruling was priceless. She seemed on the verge of a tantrum.

Meh. Her parents' loss is the porn industry's gain.

> New Jersey
That little tidbit pretty much kills any shock factor this might have had.
