[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about the parents are never married and the father even did not sign the birth certificate of the child.  The father has been paying child support as otherwise, his wage will be garnished.  The father nerve visit the child or have any kind of communication with the child

Do you think this father's income can be waived?[/quote]

OP here. Honestly not so different from me except we were married. I would hope this family would have some recourse not to have an Expected Family Contribution that includes what's basically a sperm donor.[/quote]

This is why some women pay for sperm donors: the legal barrier is very important. You would have no problem if you'd had an actual sperm donor. Someone who acts like a sperm donor is the worst.  Because honestly, there's no difference between your kids' situation and that of a married couple where one parent says "I don't believe in college and don't want to pay".

The estimated family contribution is based on [b]ability [/b]to pay, not [b]willingness[/b] to pay.

You have gotten some good advice, which will be to focus on schools that have substantial merit scholarships. If you live in MD there are options, too, to prepay a (very good) state education. [/quote]
