    Default Divorce, and Student Loan Consigning for Adult Son

    My question involves a marriage in the state of: New York

    My father is getting divorced and is unsure if legally he can cosign for a student loan for me for the semester. He wants to do so, the situation is the divorce decree isn't official yet, he hasn't signed any paperwork for it and I am working student taking online classes and will be able to pay him back/pay off the loan in full before the first loan payment is due (it is only for 6,100 in total and is the only student loan I have and will need to take out). It's a private student loan, and I have taken into account the interest as well.

    I am just curious if the divorce itself would preclude him for cosigning? He qualifies as a cosigner otherwise and it's a private student loan which doesn't require him to be a relative etc...On the loan agency's end and the schools end it isn't an issue.

    He and my mother own a house jointly as well, and we are from NY state if that helps, although they still live in NY, I currently live in Massachusetts. Also he is technically my step father, and my mother and I haven't spoken in close to a decade. I don't know if he not being my biological father changes anything legally speaking I assume not as I am in my late 20s. Just want to list the details in case any of it effects the legal situation. Any information on the legal situation here, whether he can cosign would be really helpful. Thanks.

    There's nothing stopping him from co-signing.
