I agree with Nikki, but I would like to add another perspective...while the step parent might not "contribute" to the college costs...that step parent IS contributing to the family living costs (housing, utilities, clothing, insurance, food, etc). That being the case...seems to be that perhaps the bio parent should be working too. Many of these stories we read here involve a mom or dad married to a step parent who IS working...but the bio parent is either not working or is working part time. If college expenses for that bio parent are not being partially paid for by the step parent (some reportedly with huge incomes), then...maybe the bio mom or dad should get a full time job...doing ANYTHING (I know it's not a great economy..but some job would help your child).
