[quote=Anonymous]Our child applied ED.  Both parents have to sign the form which promises the child will go if they are admitted.  You also are fully aware that you are signing a binding contract.  If the Dad signed it and didn't read itr and didn't make sure she applied for aid, that's on him.

I will say that if Dad has a lot of money and power he may be used to using that to get out of things.  Why do I say that?  Because there are a lot of controlling, narcissistic men that use money to control their children and their ex.  I know because I've worked with them.  Many of them remarry and get the new wife to believe that the ex and the children are evil, horrible, money grubbing parasites.  Again, I say this because I have seen this play out in court.

The reason I am bringing this up and because of the number of prior posters who were so quick to paint a picture of the OP as a villain.  It's an old stereotype that is still effective because of the number of people that don't even consider whether they may have bias that they are unaware of.

To the OP, I am sorry you are dealing with this.  I would contact your child's college counselor and then consider contacting Cornell.  It's an Ivy.  They have money and your daughter is not the first student who has been put in this position.  [/quote]
