[quote=Anonymous]Dh has 2 older children from a previous marriage.  The oldest is a jr in college now and will hopefully be going back for the spring semester.  For the past 10 years, DH has always gotten a bonus check in Dec.  This year, the check was significantly less.  For the past 2 years, we have used that check to pay for college.  The kid is at an in state school, so the tuition is not overwhelming, but it is more than we can write a check for in the next month.

DH has always told the kid and the ex-wife that he would pay for college as long as he could.  For the spring semester, he just doesn't have it.  So we came up with the idea that the child could get a student loan for the spring.  DH and I will tighten the budget and hopefully be able to come up with a good portion of the fall tuition.  To get a student loan though, the FAFSA needs to be filled out.  Ex wife is pissed and won't do it.  DH has always allowed her to claim their children on her taxes.  So they are not shown as dependents on our taxes.  If she won't fill out the FAFSA, can we do it, even though on our taxes the older kids are not shown as a dependents?
