<p>Thanks, cpt, I have thought since last week that he would try to pocket at least some of the money based on the fact that he applied for an amount that is more than his share of the costs. </p>
<p>I had not however, thought that I would be allowed to intervene with FinAid when it comes to his funds. Gosh, I really don’t want to do that if I don’t have to. One thought is for me to immediately pay my share of the costs to the school, so that the balance due is exactly his share. In that case, he would receive a check for the difference, unless he instructs the school to disburse the funds to my D, right? He would never do that, so I suppose he would pocket the rest. </p>
<p>I’m a little worried that my D will have holds or other issues if I do not pay the bill that is due by next week (the due date is the first day of classes). If I did pay both our shares and he received a check for the loan proceeds, I do think he would reimburse me his share. As cpt says, there would be no guarantee. But I have made it pretty clear that I am not going to allow him to walk away from this obligation and would pursue him legally if he did not reimburse me.</p>
<p>Additional thoughts about me paying the bill in full instead of waiting to see what happens? What about me paying my share, leaving his share pending?</p>
<p>Thank you all - I’ve reached a point where I have so many “what ifs” running through my head I can’t think clearly.</p>
