[quote=Anonymous]1. Talk to you husband first.  Tell him you are concerned about financing college for DD because of the income issue.  Ask him what he did when his kids applied with regard to his ex's contributions etc.  Not that that matters, but it opens a door for you to start a conversation.  Maybe he will offer some help or a loan, or some agreement when it comes to a longer term division of assets between the kids down the road.

2. Tell you DD to knock off the bratty jealously while you figure this out because first it's going to ruin her relationships with her whole stepfamily and second, it's certainly not going to help gain any goodwill with her stepfather.

3.  Discuss the idea of education loans with her and what she feels she's comfortable with taking on.  If you feel you can continue contributing in years to come to help her pay them off, then offer that.

Also, what kind of student is she?  Will she be a buckled-down college kid who uses a private school education to her advantage?
