<p>A simple question: didn’t the OP state someplace back towards the beginning, that neither mom nor dad could afford all the tuition, etc? This leads me to believe that even with court orders, filling out info, etc, that dad may not be able to contribute much anyhow. So OP is in the same position as many of our kids…wanting to attend an expensive school, without the means to do so. If dad can only contribute $5K a year or less, even the government loans will not make a dent.</p>
