I am recently divorced. We have a 14 yr old daughter that wanted to go to the mall one Friday afternoon that they had a day off school. She comes to my house every weekend and on wednesdays. We have joint custody. She called me and asked if her and her 2 friends could go. When they had their rides worked out (which were from parents) I said they could go. While at the mall they decided to shoplift and were caught. Now after dealing with the fact my ex husband says that I should have to pay the costs because I am the one who gave her permission to go and he didn't even know they were going. They were at his house when they went but like I said I pick her up after work on fridays and I didn't see the need in calling him and asking him if she could go too. Legally, is it OUR expense or should I really be the one that pays the full costs of her error.
