When you marry someone with children you're taking responsibility for the whole family. I welcome these changes to FAFSA but your reasoning is atrocious. I feel sorry for your fiancee and her kids.
The article has little actual information. It says "Other tweaks may mean even more disappointment for higher income parents when the new index produces an even larger dollar figure than the E.F.C. did." but does not say what those "tweaks" are. Perhaps describing them would conflict with the celebratory tone.

Because as currently written if we marry I'm somehow supposed to pay for college for someone not my kid.
