[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If his dad doesn’t want to or cannot afford college it’s his choice   Have him apply to other colleges and see where he gets in then decide.  [/quote]

Well, not exactly ‘his choice’. He’s violating a court order, so.

He knows where he wants to go. A local school where he’d live at home. [/quote]

[b]And what are you doing to enforce this order so that your kid doesn't have to go into debt for college?? Have you talked to your divorce attorney?[/b]

I don't think it is at ALL unwise for him to want to go to a cheaper school rather than take on debt.

He should not drop out, however, without a transfer in place. he should consider a leave of absence.

If he is ok, mental health wise, study abroad could be a good idea. Someplace fun with classes in English that aren't too hard and where he can take needed classes for his major if necessary.[/quote]

Oh lol, lady. You have no idea. But enforcement where I live takes time, especially with someone like my ex. So it’s not happening any time soon.

He is willing to go abroad. But that’s next semester. [/quote]

What do you mean by all this? Have you taken steps to enforce the contract? This is a benefit for your child. You need to take steps to enforce it. Then that money can be used to pay off the loans.

Being stressed out by taking loans is rational.

Is your kid estranged from his dad? If so, he might be able to get his income and assets subtracted from the financial aid forms and get approved for grants. It sounds like he is at a top school - they tend to have money and they give aid to middle class kids (like up to 200k HHI).[/quote]

Yea, I’ve taken steps. Enforcement is slow.

No, ironically he is not estranged from his dad. I’m livid that his dad pulls this nonsense- he also tends to not say anything until my kid is physically at school and of course my kid has his own weirdness about asking his dad. It all just sucks and is not fair, but it is what it is. [/quote]
