[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand why there is a presumption of parental contribution from the stepdad. He is not the student’s father and since he did not adopt her he is not her father. The college’s presumption that an adult without any type of legal parental relationship needs to contribute is outrageous. [/quote]

The stepfather contributes to the HHI, that's why. Mom lived with the kid as a single parent and now she has another adult to help pay the bills. She should have some savings because of it. [/quote]

It depends on the college.  My husband's ex has a live in partner (now husband) and I am sure she didn't declare him as she tried to lie to the court about him when she filed for more child support (he is the AP she moved in with after leaving my husband and been together many years).  She also lied to colleges as she refused allow my husband in on the process but demanded he just send a check to her without giving him the school name, financial information or anything else.  We think the kids got a full ride (except one choose not to live in the dorm and took out loans to support him and his girlfriend, which she wanted us to fund and we refused as if the kid wanted to live a married life, he can fund his own lifestyle.

Stepparents should not be obligated to pay.[/quote]

If your ex filed taxes jointly with her husband, his income was included in the expected family contribution. [/quote]
