[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did he agree before she submitted the application and now that she has been accepted he has changed his mind? Assuming so, I would (1) you and daughter contact financial aid office at Cornell and explain the situation, and (2) if your daughter has to decline the ED due to financial reasons, I would make sure to explain this to her HS guidance counselor because it looks very bad for your daughter and the HS and I'd want to make sure they know the reasons were out of your daughter's control, in that they need to assist with her further applications.

I'm this poster. Did your divorce decree obligate father to contribute to college? Is there a 529 account?

Even if father changes his mind once again now and says he will pay, I wouldn't trust someone who had pulled the plug once. Even if he comes through this year, he could easily bail in a future year. Unless you can afford to send your daughter to a private college on your own/with financial aid, or unless your divorce decree obligates him in some way/set amount, I would tell DD that she is going to need to go to state university and start getting excited about that - it likely will be as great as Cornell and if she has the attriubtes to have been accepted there ED she will succeed anyplace![/quote]
