September 10th, 2007
Question: FASFA question,i have divorced parents,and not living with either?
Problem:
I live with my uncle any my parents are divorced. my mom still claims me on her tax return but i don’t live with her.when i apply for fasfa i want to only put my dad and step moms information, will that be a problem? also my mom lives in the same state as i do and my dad lives in Canada so will it be a problem when i submit his income statements? are there any special rules/regulations if your parents live outside of the U.S. and also how do i know who has “custody over me” i think its both because there are not regulations i follow or anything
thanks, i need answers please
Answer: Which parent you report is very clear after you read the instructions on the fafsa. Notice it doesn’t ask who claims you on their tax form or what country they live in or who has custody.
What if you are a dependent student, but your parents are divorced or separated?
• You report information about the parent you lived with for the greater amount of time during the 12 months preceding the date you file your FAFSA application.
• If you didn’t live with either parent, or if you lived with each parent an equal amount of time, then use information about the parent who provided the greater amount of financial support during the 12 months prior to the date you file your FAFSA application.
• If you didn’t receive any parental financial support during that time, you must report information about the parent who most recently provided the greater amount of parental support.
Do I report stepparents’ information?
Your stepparent’s financial information is required on the FAFSA:
• If the parent you received financial support from was a single parent who is now married, or
• If the parent you received financial support from was divorced or widowed but has remarried.
