<p>The topic of taking (divorced) parent to court to make them pay for college education was already discussed at nausea in another thread several months ago.</p>
<p>The fact of the matter is that even if eventually some money is awarded it can take years for it to happen. Moreover, given that OP stated that neither parent has enough money to pay significant sums of money anyway, the amount awarded will probably be miniscule. </p>
<p>What OP needs to do is to concentrate on persuading his father to fill out NCP. This might include sucking up to his dad and stop calling him and his wife names. If everything else fails, he also should see if he can get accepted somewhere where he can get significant merit aid.</p>
<p>I assume that the relationship between OP and his dad is really bad and it is understandable that OP’s father is resentful towards OP and does not want to do OP any favors. We don’t know the entire story. OP’s dad might very well be a deplorable person who kills puppies for fun. However, if OP does not try to fix relationship with his dad, he might end up with worse aid than if he fixed the relationship.</p>
