[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you marry someone and blend your family with someone that isn’t willing to fold your daughter in as his own?

You were looking out for your own financial security but have no regard to your daughter.  Not surprised.  Plenty of divorced women latch on to any wealthy guy willing to marry them [/quote]

That’s not his biological child. Why should he be expected to pay for her college tuition??

Some of the responses are insane and I’m a woman!! [/quote]

Not pp but the criticism is of OP. She should have considered the effect on her daughter’s future before marrying him by considering the following

1. Discussing with him whether he his willing to pay anything for her daughter’s college before marrying him.l (given that colleges expect this and use combined resources to determine financial aid.)
2. Cohabiting instead of marrying so that her daughter remains eligible for financial aid.
3. Estimating how much the marriage is costing her daughter in terms of financial aid and making up for it with the money she is saving by not having to pay for rent, food and clothing. (And she’s been spared these costs presumably for the last 5 years so not clear why she doesn’t have much more saved.)

Not just marrying someone without regard for its adverse effect on her daughter’s financial future. [/quote]
