[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Geez there has to be some way they account for kids whose noncustodial parent is a complete jerk and won’t pay anything. It’s not all that uncommon![/quote]

They make it harder because a lot of people would try to abuse the system if they made it easy to say the noncustodial parent will not contribute to the student's college tuition.  [/quote]

It is [i]already true[/i] in most states that noncustodial parents have no obligation to pay for college. Some people write that into the separation agreement but it is not required.

Custodial parents haven't got a legal obligation to pay college tuition either, it is just an assumption by the financial aid office that they will. [/quote]

And if they won't and the student can prove that they receive no financial support from mom and dad they will be judged eligible for financial aid on the basis of their finances alone. The catch is that they child would have to live independently or pay rent to parents and not receive other material support such as being on parents health insurance or even cell phone accounts.

People aren't entitled to a college education in this country, and it is a student's responsibility to fund it. Of course that task generally falls to the parent. [/quote]
