I am graduating HS this year, and looking at private colleges (about 40K). My parents are divorced and I live with mom. She makes 12K or less, but my dad makes about 100K. He isn't planning on helping with college. So, is there any way we can MAKE him? What kind of aid from the govt./state should I get? (they only look at my mom, right?) From the school? (nothing because of my dad, right?).
Additional details: my mom doesn't have alimony, and dad doesn't pay his full child support (agreed upon with mom). My dad has remained a big part of my life, I see him all the time, and he pays for braces, car, ect. I am also willing to work during college and such, but would have to dorm there, as it is too far away from home not to.
I live in MA if that matters, and any help would be great!
