Is the non-custodial parent required to help pay for college?</p>

<p>The Federal government does not consider the income and assets of the non-custodial parent in determining a student’s financial need. However, it does consider child support received by the custodial parent.</p>

<p>Many private colleges do consider the non-custodial parent as a potential source of support, and require a supplemental financial aid form from the non-custodial parent. This affects the awarding of the school’s own aid, but not Federal and state aid.</p>

<p>… Several states have laws or case law that allow courts to order the non-custodial parent to help pay for college.
