I know people who got married and didn't realized the FAFSA implications.
In fact I know someone with income in the 90K range who just married someone with income in the 35K range. He was very surprised when I informed him that his (the larger) income would be used in the financial application process and would greatly impact their EFC.
they got married the year before the kid will be applying for college so in effect he gets the responsibility of paying for college when he had nothing to do with the raising of the child. It doubly sucks that they spent the equivalent of a year of more of EFC on wedding and honeymoon.
