Question

A daughter wanted to go to law school after she graduated from college. She took out a loan of $150,000, intending to use it to pay for her law school tuition. When she told her father about the loan and her plan, the father told her, "I think that is a very wise career choice, and I want to support you. If you go to the same law school I attended, when your loans go into repayment in three years, I will handle it." The daughter did not reveal that she had been accepted by the same law school as her father and had already enrolled there. Instead, she thanked him and went to the law school. After two and a half years, the daughter decided she did not want to practice law. She dropped out and used the remainder of her loan to travel the world. Her loan went into repayment three years after the father made his promise. She asked her father to start making the loan payments on her behalf. The father refused. The daughter has brought an action against her father to enforce his promise to repay the daughter's loan. Is the daughter likely to succeed.
