You will need to contact each school to explain your situation and ask what they need to consider a professional judgment review. Each school will need to review your unique situation, and each school will make a determination based on their assessment and policies. Definitely do it, because it could make a difference for you.

This is the answer. Your situation is one that will take a professional judgment review. When you contact the schools, ask them what kinds of documentations and information they need from you. This will help you prepare.

If your college student is a strong applicant, perhaps do consider colleges with good merit aid for their stats. That could help you.

But definitely, your financial situation stretches into the future. I hope this all works out for you.
