This is because mom never pursued her right to child support. Still it would have been different if there was a support agreement in place, dad blew off agreement and there was virtually not contact. </p>
<p>Depending on the state where student lives, once she reaches 18 she can take dad to court for child support (for ex. this can be done in NYS where a non-custodial parent is obligated to pay support until child is 21. The agreement can be modified to contribute to college costs and pay support until child graduates from college). In addition, if this were to take place in NY and the child was under 17 1/2 any mandated reporter (which theoretically is any adult who works for the dept of ed) would have to refer the situation to ACS.</p>
<p>I have literally written hundreds of requests for non-custodial waivers. In this economy it is getting harder to get a waiver. Based on info provided, it is going to be very difficult for OP to get a waiver. Any school professional that knows the Op’s situation (child is living next door to bio dad), is not going to lie for OP and risk losing their license, job or ruining their relationships with adcoms.</p>

<p>True, however if there is a restraining order, OP would send in copy of restraining order with other paperwork to request a waiver. If there is a parent no contact order with the child, the school has a copy of the order on file and in the childs record, to the extent when you pull up the child’s information the first thing you will see is a flag that there is a no contact order in place.</p>
