Title: College Financial Aid and divorce Post by: Forestaken on February 15, 2013, 10:59:34 AM My s2bx might agree to a sizable settlement.
If she does accept, she will be sitting pretty financially. However, I am worried that her $$$$$ will hurt my children's finanical aid potential.

Is she a spendthrift?
From a practical staNPDoint, you can't live your ex's life for her. If you pointed that consequence out to her, would it make a difference to her? (I can imagine my ex blame-shifting, "Well, then you pay for it!" Would talking about it with her be a risk, would it help you or hurt you? Could you convince her to let you set up a trust or restricted account for the children's education?

Setting up a trust for the kids? Hmm, she may do it bc she loves looking like a savior.
