[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would see if it’s possible to help him get emancipated so he can go to college without including his parents’ income on FAFSA.[/quote]

Generally not possible unless he is self-supporting financially.[/quote]
Yes, it is possible. That is why PP recommended OP help this child become emancipated.

You misunderstand me. It’s generally not possible in a court of law to become emancipated without financial means. [/quote]

To wit:

Necessary Findings for Child Emancipation
Emancipation may be declared following the hearing if: (1) the minor has entered into a valid marriage (whether or not it has been dissolved since); (2) the minor is on active duty in the U.S. armed service; or (3) the minor willingly lives separately and apart from his/her parents or guardian, with the consent of the parents or guardian, [b]and is capable of supporting himself/herself and completely managing his/her own financial affairs.[/b]”

This isn’t insurmountable. OP could charge a nominal rent amount, like $100 that can be paid from a part-time job. It’s worth pursuing for the child to pursue better financial aid options if college is where they want to go post-grad.[/quote]

Some private college counselors can help with this process too, if you want to emancipate your child to help with college apps and aid, and don't have a low-income relative available to adopt. [/quote]
