I have practically no savings left. My child will try to go to college in a few months on virtually all loans ( I have no money to give her). She is applying for financial aid and scholarships. Should I try to hold off until after she gets into college before declaring bankruptcy, or does it make any difference in her chance for getting a college loan ? Also, there is an unavoidable divorce coming as well. Will that hurt or help her chances of getting more financial aid ? Would having only a single parent on the application be helpful in getting more grants ? -
