[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]

Did her know DD was applying?  Binding ED, so there could be no discussion later?   Ad that moms plan was for him to pay and DD to take out loans and mom to not contribute much?

Seems like mom, who days her DD is “cordial,” but will “never forget” helped created a situation where her ex paid  $80k a year or his kid would never forgive him.  If sounds like he didn’t know she was applying ED and/or that he was expected to pick up the entire tab or he’d be the villain.  Not everyone has that cash lying around.    I’m beginning to see why she’s the ex-wife.

Before you commit to a college, everyone needs to agree how it will be paid for.  That includes the guy actually writing te checks.  [/quote]
