How do i fill out my fafsa if my mom left, my parents aren divorced, but she isn supporting us?
Please copy the following articles and take them to your guidance counselor to ask. Completing the FAFSA If your parents are separated or divorced, the custodial parent is responsible for filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The custodial parent for federal student aid purposes is the parent with whom you lived the most during the past 12 months. (The twelve month period is the twelve month period ending on the FAFSA application date, not the previous calendar year.) Note that this is not necessarily the same as the parent who has legal custody. http://www.finaid.org/questions/divorce…. the federal formula doesn’t include the financial resources of the noncustodial parent … Some private colleges, however, do ask about the noncustodial parent’s income and assets on their own aid forms and consider the resources of both parents — as well as the custodial parent’s spouse.
