Forcing father to fill out financial aid forms/pay for college

[sybbie719]

<p>

Don’t fathers(NCP) usually stop paying child support at the age of 18 in most states?

</p>

<p>In NYS, support orders are in place until the child turns 21 with stipulations for college until 22 or child graduates.</p>

<p>

I’d really try to explain to him that you cant get any gov loans without filling out his information in a as non-confrontational way as possible.

</p>

<p>Op’s ability to get federal loans will have nothing to do with his father, since dad is not custodial parent.</p>

<p>

@sybbie719 my mom hasn’t started the proceedings yet but I won’t turn eighteen till the summer after I graduate, almost a year from now. Would that change anything?

<p>By the time your mom gets the case into the Il. court, you may no longer be eligible for future child support. However, your mom may be able to get child support for you retroactively from the filing date.</p>
