Why would I ask my parents for money? I'm an adult and take care or myself. My son is still in high school

You can pick 4 from the list. The rest is extra. You know the answer, you're just so used to being dependent, you can't see it.

Ok, now were getting somewhere. You're an adult and take care of yourself. Alright so you have bills to pay? Mortgage, Utilities, Car, and....?

Your ex sounds like a piece of shite but you are coming across on here as a greedy bitch.
I am a divorced father paying more than what the OP is trying to get. $2,000 isn't necessarily high. LA family court laws are made to protect the children of dissolved marriages. Basically, legislators decided that if a couple have a kid and send him to private school when things are good, then a divorce does not allow the parents to impact the child's life by pulling him out of said school (if parents can actually afford it).
I'm not saying it's right or wrong. But according to law, OP is not being greedy. She is merely trying to follow through with a commitment of sending her son to the school that they felt was in his best interest when they were married.
OP has said nothing about being entitled.
To the contrary, if she was getting $600 and then the court awarded $2,000; that suggests that she probably could have gone to court for a money grab a lot sooner.
As to the OP, talk to your son and be open and honest about the finances. As dumb as this sounds, don't bash his dad. He'll do that well enough on his own in due time.
Do your best to set a budget.
Make cuts everywhere possible.
For finding tPOS dad - check tax records of his house. Find out who owns it. Make contact with them.
Send him certified mail to his old address with signature required. If he has a change of address filed, you should get notified by USPS. Check his old job - pretend to be a new employer want verification of past employment and current address.
Be creative in how to work the system. He can be found.
Damn this was a lot of typing on this phone.

And yet he stopped paying when you upped the ante.
Look, maybe the guy is a POS...or maybe he got tired of seeing so much of his paycheck go to a vacuous pit and though the boy, nay, damn near the man, needed to learn that you've got to make your own way in life.
And he checked out of your scheme.
The boy isn't an infant. And you're no angel.

Absolutely take it away if you can't afford it that is life and yes he can make new friends or keep in touch with his old one life isn't all about keeping up with the Jones.

shite. I go and post a wall of text trying to defend you and you go and post something stupid like this??
You're damn right you take away stuff if you can't afford it! Be honest with your kid. And do it without sounding like a gawl damn martyr.

Funny thing about paying for shite, if you lose your job you can't afford private school anymore. Therefore your kid doesn't get to go. Why should it be any different when you get divorced. You lose a source of income. Same difference.

I figured the men on here would take his side. I'm not a money hungry bitch! If you have a child it is your responsibility to help support that child until he is able to support himself. He is not able to support himself because He goes to school, works out and practices ball daily. So the responsibility of taking care of my son falls on both parents.

Just reading your bullshite throughout these 11 pages, and I want to find your ex and buy him a drink.
Would also eagerly read through his side of the story. When you find him, ask him to sign up.

We divorced in 2001. Son has a year and half left of school. Anybody that can do this is a total pos loser

Hey LSUgal, imagine if your husband didn't leave you but died instead. How in the world would you pay for all this stuff yourself?
Posted on 10/29/14 at 12:20 am to lsugal121212
You actually had a supporter and in 30 seconds flat, you turned him against you.
If that doesn't scream to you that it's time to take a step back, reflect on how high maintenance and batshit insane you are, we here at the OT are fighting a lost battle.
But it will be ok. I'm sure sugar daddy will be back soon enough to ease your woes with a check.

Meh. He could get a part time job to pay for stuff like gas and insurance.
Most of us did it when we were growing up and we turned out ok.
The point is....until you get things straightened out with your ex....that is money you are not gonna be receiving.

Sounds like he needs to stop working out and playing ball so much and support himself then.
Ever seen "the little princess"?
Life's a bitch.
