[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP needs to come back and answer the question of what he agreed to before the application went in.  The fact she won’t makes me suspect that mom was hoping if Dad got in, he could be pressured into paying. And that makes me a lot less sympathetic to mom.  Feel bad for DD that he mom wasn’t above board though. [/quote]

She did say they both filled out the forms, so he went in eyes wide open. Why didn't he, the child's father, ask some questions or set some ground rules? Why is it on the mother to ask "you're not going to be a complete d*ck about this later given that you know where DD is applying right?"[/quote]

Yep, pretty much this. There is NO way the dad should have completed the FAFSA if he had no intention of paying for college or only for instate. Yeah, maybe the mom was hopeful, but this is on the dad.[/quote]

Why not. FAFSA is required fr merit aid in some cases.  My dad refused to fill it out, and several schools pulled me out of their merit pools.  Filling v out FAFSA is not an agreement to pay anything.

Everyone here should have discussed up from.  But, certainly mom and kid needed to nail this down before they (?) signed the ED contract.  DD did ED and online parent signed it.  If hat was dad, he has some explaining to do.  If it was mom, she can’t commit her *ex-husband* to pay $320,000 for college.  [/quote]
