Today, after my ex had promised his mother he’d give something from her estate to my kids when she died, so she never bothered to change her will to include them, and she died a few weeks ago so I asked him about it because my eldest is going to university soon. He laughed in my face and shut the door. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my lovely ex-mother-in-law died and now my ex has stopped talking to me. I found out through a mutual friend that we only had an amicable divorce in case his mother had left me money in her will, but now he’s got all her money, he didn’t even take time to invite me to the funeral. FML
Today, at the reading of my mother's last will and testament, I found out that despite having cared for her for the final years of her life, she denied me an inheritance. She basically said I'm an embarrassment, because when she wrote it, I was 31 years-old, with no wife or children. FML
Today, my rich ex-husband died, and left our two children $100 each, while leaving his other children seven figures. He said in his will that it was his "revenge" for my infidelity. Now my kids won't talk to me. How cruel can you be, holding on to a grudge and punishing your own blood for it? FML
Today, I went to my ex-father-in-law’s funeral. The woman my husband cheated on me with, and blew up our marriage for, was mentioned in the eulogy, as well as her kids. Neither myself nor my kids were acknowledged, even though I was married to the evil bastard’s son for over 20 years. FML
Today, my dad justified leaving two of my three kids out of his will because they’re adopted and so not really his proper grandchildren, telling me I can’t seriously expect him to just give his money to people who aren’t real family members. FML
Today, I told my soon-to-be-ex that he never does anything for the kids, and hasn't contributed a dime. He showed up with a half a gallon of milk and a box of cereal. Not what I meant. FML
Today, I confronted my boyfriend’s bitch of an ex about why she won’t let him see their kids. She laughed hysterically then showed me screenshots of all the times she offered to drop them off and the excuses he made. An hour later, she dropped three kids at our door and stopped answering her phone. FML
Today, I found out that my dad left his entire estate to charity in his will, including his house. He knew I needed that house to get my kids back, because I’m currently homeless and my kids are in care until I can prove I have a suitable place for us to live. FML
Today, I was super excited to receive a large inheritance, maybe put it towards a house and a vacation. To my horror, the entire 40k went to my child support arrears. My psycho ex is the one who wanted those three kids, not me. FML
Today, my husband and I recently decided not to have kids, because neither of us like children. Learning this, my dad wrote me out of his will and my mother swore on the Bible in church that she’s never going to speak to me again until I obey God's word and start multiplying. FML

Do you have any record of him saying this? Text messages, witnesses? If so, drag his scummy ass to court.

take it up in front of the judge. he'll most likely be ordered to pay all of uni costs, or at least half.

Doubtful. University students are adults, so their parents have no legal obligation to support them at all. And sadly, there's no court to enforce moral obligations.

@RichardPencil - Perhaps it could fall under retroactive child support, especially if OP's ex wasn't paying it before.

You can contest the will, stating exactly what you just said. Just add that she "forgot" to change the will to make sure that promise was kept.

OP the way you stated it sounds a lot like the kids in question are not your ex’s children. Their father (and you) owe for their support - Not your ex unless he had adopted them… Ultimately people say a lot of things, sometimes just saying what the other person wanted to hear. A signed document however is another thing and stands up in court… OP sometimes life does not seem “fair”. But there are laws that usually prevent the most awful wrongs. It is always wise to understand where things stand legally.

Did he say this when yall were together or after? That bit of context makes all the difference in the world

You said to "your" kids. Are they his, too? If so, he's a total asshole. If not, you should have gotten it in writing.
