This is from Brown:
“Waivers of non-custodial information are granted in very limited circumstances, such as abuse, neglect, drug addiction, and a long-standing documented history of refusal to support applicant.”

<p>Brown also states:</p>

Q. What should I do if my non-custodial parent is unwilling to contribute or complete the Non-Custodial Parent Statement (NCPS) application requirement?</p>

<p>A. Brown believes that the primary responsibility for educational expenses lies with the student and the family. As such, Brown requires the submission of non-custodial income information detailing the parent’s ability, not willingness, to contribute. Should parents discontinue their financial support for reasons other than ability to pay, Brown will not assume the parental responsibility for financial support of the student. </p>

<p>there was also a recent thread when mom posted that her D was accepted ED at Brown. Her ex refused to contribute, and Brown did not discount the ex’s income/assets</p>

<p>My child was just accepted early decision at an ivy league school. The non-custodial parent submitted a CSS that said zero income, not going to contribute to college. After the school audited the NCP (requested tax returns and personal budget) pre-admission, NCP parent finally admitted a mid 5-figure income. The child’s total financial aid package came with acceptance letter, and is based on both parents income, but now that child is accepted, NCP won’t pay a dime. Wealthy grandparents on that side of the family refuse, too.</p>
