@mom2collegekids We would have to accurately report what is occurring. So for a while back, one of the kids lived with us for a few years and child support didn’t change. We would have reported him as part of the household and included child support paid.
@brantly I would not want to include anything more in the child support than what we have that documents the monthly payments. I would say our financial situation mimics 4.27 kids. 
So it seems like even though financial aid doesn’t take into consideration the actual expenses of each kid, it does assume that the more kids you have included in your household, the more you spend on them and so the less you have to spend on college. Is this correct?
I really wanted to know if the CSS PROFILE was going to ask any additional questions about the kids outside of child support. We don’t really have any documentation to support the additional stuff outside of medical and my understanding is you should have documentation for everything you put down on the financial aid form. If there were consideration given and so it would help with financial aid if I answered these nonexistent questions about other stuff for them then I was going to start documenting going forward. Since I don’t have to, all is good.
