There was good news and bad news yesterday for same-sex parents of children in or soon-to-be in college: Starting with the 2014-2015 federal student aid form, the U.S. Department of Education will ask for information about a dependent student’s legal parents regardless of the parents’ marital status or gender, as long as the parents live together. That's good news, in that it will be the first time the form reflects the actualities of same-sex parents' families (and those of unmarried, opposite-sex parents). It's bad news, in that some students may receive less aid now that both parents' contributions will be recognized—or will they?
