[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe it's me, but feels like there are one or more men's right activists in this thread with all the references to men being bamboozled, etc. When they became dads did they just think it was going to be all shits and giggles?

Men want to be involved and consulted.  In this case Mom made all the decisions and demands Dad pay for it.  He is not under any obligation to pay and he may not be able to afford it.  He makes slightly more than mom.   He probably pays child support which would make it less for dad and more for mom.  Mom cannot afford it.  One could conclude neither can dad.  Mom promised child an expensive education that neither parent can swing.  [/quote]

How do you know any of this? and finally, the dad SIGNED the FAFSA form. He also had a chance to ask questions and explain his plans. It's not a one way street. Did he think that his daughter was never going to become college age?[/quote]

We don't know the entire situation.  Signing the form and discussing it are two different things.  He may have assumed daughter would get financial aid.  When she didn't, mom got mad and expects Dad to pay.  Why isn't mom paying for any of it? [/quote]
