[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 458283, member: 1233"] I think that refusing to provide into to fill out the FAFSA is NOT to just be contrary or be arbitrary. He has already done very very badly at school while using a LOT of drugs. They offered to support him and pay the full price for a year at a school near them rather than going to the big university where he spent his time and loads and loads of their money partying. They have already told him that in no way will they help support his life at this univ right now - and in my opinion they need to stick to that, INCLUDING not helping with anything that gives him financial support. They have to let him hit bottom or fly totally on his own - and even if it means he can't get a student loan, I support them in this. While many student loans are only to be repaid by the student, their son has abused them, their finances and their other kids and it would seem in character that he would forge a signature on a loan that would end up with them either paying it or sending him to prison for the forgery. NOT a position they need to come close to being in. There are a LOT of other students in the party lifestyle who would help him figure out how to forge their signatures if they gave him the FAFSA info. As it is, the info about their income is PRIVATE and is NONE OF difficult child"S BUSINESS. He went to the univ this year by himself, got an apartment with-o telling them about it (but was planning to use their money to afford it!) and he knew when he left that they were not going to contribute in any way to his decision to be tehre this year. So not providing financial info may make it hard on him, but it IS the REAL WORLD that he thinks he knows everything about. So they have to let him experience it with-o any cushion from them.
