[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a lot of you are missing is that the mom is willing to pay the EFC the college feels is appropriate based on her income and assets (I assume).

Instead the burden of the EFC of the father (which is given our separately) falls to the mother.

Schools justify this by saying he has a history of supporting the child. When the alternative is jail, I don't think that's a fair assessment.

I don't think these mothers (and hey, sometimes it can be fathers) who live and breathe and spend pretty much all of their money on their children-- to say nothing of the toll of being there for the children, often having to compensate for a parent who does not participate-- should be penalized in this fashion.

They are not being penalized in the eyes of DC law.  The moms get CS if agreed to/ ordered.  And they get College costs if and only if the dad had agreed to it in the divorce agreement.  DC has not recognized that college is a “necessity”. Not everyone has a right to go to college. Not everyone gets to go to a 40k or 70k a year school. The court will either say the divorce agreement controls or OP gets nothing because college is not a necessity as is food and shelter (CS).  DD (in the eyes of the court) can go to community college and work part time. It all turns on what the dad has agreed to pay towards college j. The divorce agreement. Then OP has to decide whether or not it’s worth $11,100(average cost) to engage a family law practitioner in DC to enforce the divorce agreement.[/quote]
