BARNES, Judge,
concurring with separate opinion.
I write separately to concur with the outcome here, but I do so reluctantly and begrudgingly. The fact is K.F. was disciplined by her professor pursuant to Purdue’s academic guidelines. However, this transgression, while not insignificant, does not, in my opinion, rise to the level of an offense that should serve to sever one’s educational support obligation. Unfortunately for K.F., however, it does so because of the broad wording of the trial court’s 2012 order and KF.’s conduct, which she does not dispute. Although Father’s apparent exuberance to get out from underneath his support obligation is troublesome, I must agree with the majority that the result is legally mandated, but practically repugnant.
