<p>Hi, I am currently in 12th grade and on my way to college. My girlfriend (Also 17) tested positive on her pregnancy and we’re expecting in a few months. After the January- December FAFSA application deadline.</p>
<p>I plan to major in Computer Science.</p>
<p>My family plans for my girlfriend and child to live in the household while I attend a CSU nearby. </p>
<p>I was accepted for a job and plan to gain income soon and provide for my son/ daughter.</p>
<p>How would support work for me and my family if I intend to go to college?</p>
<p>By how support would work for you and your family do you mean financial aid for you?</p>
<p>The first thing to determine is whether you are dependent or independent for financial aid.</p>
<p>The key thing for that is, assuming you will be starting college next fall:</p>

<p>It sounds like your family, rather than you, will be providing more than half the child’s support during that time period if you are in school. A part-time job during school, even if full-time during summers, probably isn’t going to allow you to provide over half the child’s support, considering expenses you will have to pay for yourself. Babies are expensive.</p>
<p>If you run some numbers and do believe you will be providing over half the support, then you may be asked to document the amount of support you, yourself are providing.</p>
<p>Are there any plans for marriage?</p>
