    Default Re: 17 Year Old High School Grad

    My thought would be out of state tuition, which Florida certainly does sock it to you if you do not live there but want to go to school there. If your mom is in any way paying for your college, I can see where she would be strongly motivated to keep you in your home state because it will be so much cheaper! Unless your dad is open to taking you in and keeping custody of you during your college years, which he may not be and may not be willing to pay for and fight your mother about, I think I'd restructure my dreams just a bit. You can get no federal grants for college without the cooperation of your parent who's got you, which will be your mother, even if you are over 18.

    If dad is willing to support you, then apply and see if you get accepted to the college. If you are accepted, get your financial aid in order, and then have dad file for custody to help you go to college. At your age, and considering you will be graduating, I would be surprised if the courts disagreed with that request. Just be ready for having to finance this without your mom's help.
