Quote from: northernstar on February 14, 2007, 03:21:18 PMI know what you mean - I have the same problem. One school that applied to said that they will need copies of my parents tax forms, including the divorced parents. My Dad is a total miser and has big big big bucks in the bank, but hasn't given me a penny in years. And he's a total freak about financial information so he would never give me a copy of his taxes.Oh and I should mention that my Mom is disabled and lives with me & my husband. When I've been in dire straits before and asked him for money (not even a lot, maybe like 200-300 bucks) he told me he wont help me because he doesn't want to "supplement my moms income." That sucks big time. What are you going to do? Are you even going to try for grants, then?

I can't believe these obnoxious Michigan students, who use the board not to share information, but to socialize (as pathetic as that is)
Quote from: Ignignokt on February 13, 2007, 05:56:56 PMHas anyone had experience with this? My stepfather (who I'm not even sure can be legally recognized as such, since he never legally adopted me) won't give his information. I've tried to persuade him, got my top choice school's financial aid office to send an e-mail answering his questions, but he still won't budge. Basically, he's a prick.The only thing I can think of is to draft a letter stating that he refuses to give the info. and that he won't contribute anything to my education, and have the letter notarized.Help please! A stepfather by definition does not adopt his spouse's children. And he doesn't have to give you his financial information.That being said, I think your idea to draft a letter explaining you cannot obtain that information and that he won't contribute is a good one. Just curious though...do law schools need to know parents' financial info? I thought once a student was done with UG a parent's financial status was irrelevant. rugercaptain

J, if you didn't bring enough penis for everyone, you shouldn't have brought any penis at all.

What happens if you have never met one of your parents? Presumably they are alive, but you don't know them, never knew them, don't even have their name on your birth certificate.
