[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was me 30+ years ago. HS boyfriend and I went to city hall and got a marriage license. Our parents were scandalized but since we were technically adults there wasn't anything they could do. This gave me independent status and a much better financial aid package.  I don't advocate this strategy - it was a desperate move and I think the independence criteria are much tighter these days, but it may be worth exploring if nothing else is available.

By the way - we are still married - but in those days neither of us expected our relationship to last and we fully expect to divorce when I no longer needed the marriage for financial aid purposes. [/quote]
I actually think stories like yours are the most romantic.

My mom remarried when I was 17, it screwed me out of a Pell grant. I grew up LMC and was first generation to go to college, none of us knew about the implications until it was too late. I ended up going to a commuter college and living at home a few years. I think it’s great you are trying to help OP. I hope she gets to go and is out of an uncomfortable situation [/quote]
