<p>I never said it was easy, but this poster sounds to have plenty of proof that they could do this and why would they not given their situation? </p>
<p>I dated a boy once in high school. His parents made very good money. They refused to pay one cent for college and he did not know this until his senior year. They told him he could go into the military. He just could not see himself doing that. His dream was to better himself by attending a good college. He went through the proper legal channels to see to it that it was not connected to his parents(emancipated). He was then able to get financial aid and take out loans. He went on to a four year college and then got his masters. He is now a wonderful teacher and coach and is one of the most beloved teachers at the high school where he teaches.</p>
<p>I am only bringing this up as something to consider. It pains me when parents are selfish and greedy and won’t help their children one iota for college. Of course they legally don’t have to, but there is a moral and social understanding. I understand we need rules regarding financial aid or there would be those that would take advantage of the system perhaps, but emancipation is one way to help someone who truly needs help.</p>
