In New Jersey, divorced parents can be legally obligated to contribute to their children's college expenses, a decision based on factors like the child's aptitude for higher education and the parents' financial abilities, as established by the case of Newburgh v. Arrigo. Here's a more detailed explanation: Legal Obligation: New Jersey law recognizes that parents have a legal obligation to contribute to their children's higher education expenses, particularly in the context of divorce or separation. Newburgh v. Arrigo: The landmark case of Newburgh v. Arrigo established that parents can be required to contribute to their children's higher education expenses, depending on various factors. Factors Considered: Courts consider several factors when determining a parent's obligation to contribute to college expenses, including: The child's aptitude and commitment to higher education. The parents' financial resources and ability to pay. The relationship of the requested education to the child's long-term goals. The child's financial means and ability to contribute. The availability of grants and loans. Marital Settlement Agreements: Parties can address college expenses in their marital settlement agreement, outlining how contributions will be made and by whom. Child Support: Child support payments may continue even after a child turns 18 if they are attending college and/or vocational training full-time. "Rutgers Rule": The case of Nebel v. Nebel established the "Rutgers Rule," which suggests that parents are not obligated to pay for private college if a comparable state school (like Rutgers) is available. Timely Communication: It's crucial for parents to communicate with each other about college plans and seek court intervention before expenses are incurred.
确实要好好沟通，从法律角度爸爸没有任何义务来付大学学费，要告也得先把以前的判决推翻，这个劳民伤财况且赢的可能性很小。
孩子上大学，FAFSA只要一方的信息，所以那个爸爸根本就不用填任何表格，FAFSA也仅仅和妈妈的收入有关。
这里看孩子是上什么学校，如果是私校，CSS那么父母的税表是必须要的。根据那个妈妈的描述，加上爸爸的收入，可能拿到FA的机会会很小。我想这里是那个妈妈纠结的地方，可能确实需要根爸爸好好谈谈，看爸爸的态度了。不过看样子离婚已经好几年了，如果在过去离婚后，孩子没有根爸爸建立好的关系，要么是这个爸爸太差劲，要不就是这个妈妈不让，两种情况可能再让爸爸来付钱，可能性可能不大，尤其是后者.....离婚要慎重啊
除非当初离婚协议里写清楚的。要后妈同意出，就一个字：难！
霍光就是因为同父异母的哥哥霍去病提携而飞黄腾达，不是皇帝胜似皇帝。
当然老太太还没有心胸宽广到不生气，还得我去安抚，我招谁惹谁了。
这样的后妈，而且男的经济也不是很好，就别指望出钱了。
不过希望她现在还是不要再多说了
我给你描述一种场景：女的生了孩子忙得焦头烂额的。前娃来家除了玩游戏什么都不干，后妈还真的很难差/要求这孩子，毕竟不是亲生的。我不是说她家是这种情况。但是，如果后妈确实烧了晚饭，爸爸回家肯定全家一起吃吧？怎么还会需要爸爸专门再给孩子烧？？
我看到的好几个离异家庭都是妈妈带孩子，并支付孩子大学学费。妈妈拼力搞事业多挣钱，一边辛苦育儿。
爹很快进入另一段婚姻，又有了新的wife和孩子，跟之前的孩子几乎没有交集。
所以需要他资助
如果所有的沟通都无效的话，最后得让他出具书面声明（公证），承认自己拒绝支付孩子学费。妈妈拿着书面材料再去跟学校谈谈FA。
要做好最坏的打算，如果学校那边也没法改变，要跟孩子商量好，或者贷款，或者选学费低的学校。
妈妈坚强一点，孩子会理解的！
另外孩子申请大学的时候有跟父亲商量过大学学费吗？如果没有商量过，有什么理由默认父亲一定要帮孩子付学费呢？我认为这种事情应该在孩子申请大学前就商量好的。
反之确实没听过，
难道拿个不愿意付学费声明学校就会给钱了吗？要真是我保证起码对于一半家庭都会愿意这样做
有那种脑子极度不清楚的不管自己亲生的，对继子继女特别好的，其实就是爱屋及乌。我有个同事就是这样的，她跟前夫是大学同学，UT Austin EE，一起来公司，如果不是为了照顾俩娃女同事的事业发展不一定比男主差，结果男主升到高管后被vendor那边一个女同学把魂勾走了，接着离婚帮新太太和俩娃办美国身份，完全没有给自己亲生子女付学费的意思，所以同事只能让娃高中开始在CC选课，争取州大两年毕业。
她妈也不去法院要求男方付生活费，都是自己承担。
申请大学就不递父亲的信息。好像CSS有具体情况可以不递，他们符合。
