[quote=doodlebug]If you don't want to contribute to a step child's financial needs, then don't marry a person who already has children. It's a simple as that. You marry the parent, you marry the minor children. I had to wait until I was 23 to get student loans (and by extension to attend college more than one class at a time) because that's the when the parents income is no longer considered for financial aid. My stepfathers income precluded me from getting aid and my parents weren't interested in contributing. I don't feel like parents OWE their kids a higher education but I do think they should contribute as much as they can...if they can't afford to then the kid will qualify for financial aid and if the kid doesn't qualify that means the parents make enough to contribute something...even if it's just book money.
