I’m kind of confused. The Pell grant goes to the student, so the parents aren’t sharing it. If you are asking about the 529 plan and whether you have to give the entire thing to your student so that the ex doesn’t have to pay 1/2 the tuition (or whatever your agreement is), that would depend on who the owner of the 529 is. Is it you? then you can distribute or not distribute as you like. Is it the student? Then the student would decide on distribution.
