[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More accurately: No, they won't garnish your pay or legally obligate you to pay.

But they will refuse your child financial aid and they will have to find money themselves outside the FA system. Is that really what you want?[/quote]

NP here, but [b]I don't think it's unfair to attach conditions to paying for college [/b](as compared to say feeding/clothing/sheltering a child until they're 18 / graduated from HS, which of course is required).  There's a lot of different situations out there and I don't think you can simplify it that easily by saying every child's parents should contribute to college.[/quote]

Well, fair or unfair - that's how it works. The stakes (tuition) are so high every college-bound kid would declare themselves to be without support to get aid.[/quote]

PP here.  I think you and the poster below you misinterpreted what I was saying.  Removing the double negative, the bolded part would be "I think it's fair [for parents] to attach conditions to paying for college."  I wasn't addressing how colleges allocate financial aid at all.[/quote]
