Would you give up legal guardianship of your kids to get them into college?
https://www.cnbc.com/2019/07/30/parents-exploit-legal-loophole-to-get-their-kids-more-college-aid.html?__source=twitter%7Cmain
First there was the college admissions scandal earlier this year, which revealed the elaborate lengths wealthy parents will go to get their children into elite schools, including faking a learning disability and forking over $1.2 million.
Now another trend shows what some parents will do to fatten the financial aid their children receive, even if they may not need it.
Dozens of parents in Chicago have transferred legal guardianship of their high school-aged children to someone else — often, a friend or relative— so that their children can declare themselves as financially independent from them, likely enhancing their eligibility for federal, state and university aid. ProPublica Illinois first reported the news.

As long as I can still inflict corporal punishment on them, sure.

More things college admissions and financial aids offices will have to address.
It’s like declaring bankruptcy with your child

Is this what OTPT's parents did when they gave guardianship to Bob?

I’m glad they didn’t, I could have been stuck in East Lansing for my entire life.

Did they purchase Bob's deluxe guardianship plan that comes with beer money for road games, or was that out of the kindness of his heart?
