Will my Financial Aid Package change?

my mom and I think they approved my waiver form

Did you complete the CSS and submit it to Northwestern?

Once the CSS Profile is completed indicated that the biological parents are divorced, separated, or were never married, this will initiate a requirement for the CSS Noncustodial Profile. CSS will send an email with information and a link to complete the Non-Custodial Parent Profile. This will need to be forwarded to the parent.

I’m surprised NU gave you a FA package if your CSS wasn’t completed, and I’d be surprised if they accepted your request for a waiver because your father’s legal obligation to pay child support ended at 18. That’s common, and in fact most parents, married or not, have little obligation to support their adult offspring after 18. There are a few states that require it (NJ for college tuition but only for instate in NJ; NY has an obligation for room and board but it’s complicated).

I had no obligation to support my children after they graduated from high school, but I like them so I did.
