Still, there are special cases wherein a number of private colleges will waive the requirements for non-custodial information. There is, however, a criterion that has to be met so that a certain single parent household will not be automatically qualified for a waiver.
If the non-custodial parent is unable to be located then the assumption would be made that it would be almost certain that the parent has made no form of child support payment within the recent months. This will also help in providing an indication that this parent has not been consistent in making financial support payments to the child over a period of time.
Then if the separation or the divorce has happened in the past of the past, which means it was really a long time ago, then it is highly reasonable to expect a provision from that non-custodial parent.
And last of all, if the said non-custodial parent has a history of neglect or of abuse either with the child or with the other parent.
Mainly court records will be examined as a way to help document the necessary criteria. You should now be aware that the above criteria will need to be fully documented in a clear and concise way so that all the information can be provided in regards to the non custodial parent.
