 If you have a child who is headed off to college in the fall, this may be a better season than most to file an appeal and negotiate your financial award! If you are still undecided about which college to attend, now is the time to file or even re-file your appeal as colleges are eager to bring in students for this coming fall! (The one upside for parents of current High School Seniors due to a global pandemic.) While many schools typically will negotiate, not all do. And, it also depends on the reason for the appeal.

Therefore, since the schools still need revenue to operate, they need to ensure that all seats will be filled.  Going through a separation and divorce is both emotionally and financially draining for all parties involved! Even in the best divorces, you are still dividing assets and now the two parents have to support two households on the same total income as when everyone lived harmoniously together.
In many instances, one parent earns significantly more than the other parent.
