[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is going to college next year and although ex agreed to help pay expenses, it is becoming clear he will not.  I reached out to him multiple times to discuss what he can afford to contribute but he has ignored my numerous emails and text messages asking to sit down and discuss. I am now worried he won't complete the FAFSA.  If that is the case, how do schools handle these situations?  [/quote]

Instead of asking what he can afford, send him an email saying these are the options/acceptances, what the total cost per year, any school financial help, how much you are contributing and how much child support will pay for and ask him if he can help with some of the remaining balance. [b] Sending him a blank email demanding money but not saying what is needed is not helpful.[/b]  Ask him to be involved with the process and discuss with your child going to a more affordable school.  If she wants a $70K college and between everything only $30K is affordable, she has to be realistic or take out loans.[/quote]

Of course.  I have tried to get him to discuss what he thinks he can afford but he simply won't respond.  I sent him a link to the calculators I have done for various schools (only has my financial information) and asked him to input his own information so we can see what we will be expected to pay.  Nothing.

The only thing I have asked from him thus far is to have a conversation about what is realistic.  I think its understandable that I would be frustrated with him at this point.  I'm not sure why I even bothered posting on DCUM.  Never fails to disappoint.[/quote]
