<p>Carrie, FAFSA only asks for income from the parent with whom the student lives 51% of the year. So make sure your son spends at least 183 nights of the year with you, and his father’s income will not be considered by FAFSA. </p>
<p>Some other financial aid calculations (notably the CSS form) may ask for his father’s information, but many schools don’t use that methodology.</p>
<p>Will his father contribute to his college costs?</p>
