This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Parent Plus Loans belong to the parent by vermin05
This is unfortunately her father’s problem and his alone legally (obviously morally and personally are different issues.) It’s also a really complex issue and you likely need a paid service to really come up with a solution, or attempt to get an appointment with one of the free services. The paid services have a fee of $529 for a one hour live session and months of email access for questions. The name of the two big paid services are studentloanadvise.com and studentloanplanner.com. I linked below some free options from nerdwallet.
I do want to stress, however, this loan (and the interest accruing on it) will likely need to be repaid. And your future daughter in law and her father need to accept that.
