Stepdad, I dont think I said a stepparent should automatically pay. What I have said is:
1. Both bio parents should contribute, based on ability. Courts should mandate this as part of divorce decree. In Kayf world, courts would be reasonable -- one can provide each parent agrees to pay 1/2 of state school cost, more if either parent makes lots.
2. Steps should realized that the feds look at their income -- and carefully plan.
And I agree, in evaluating bioparents ability to pay, if bioparent is now having family expenses subsidized by step, bioparent has more ability to pay.
What I dont think is fair is that children of divorced families are less likely to further their education than children of intact families.
