<p>If my parents are divorced and my mom is filing the CSS, does she have to input my dad's information as well?</p>
<p>Yes, it asks for the income of both parents.</p>
<p>yea, but my dad has to fill out the noncustodial, which asks the exact same questions. how does that work?</p>
<p>Your mom fills out the CSS, your dad fills out the non-cutodial...so you're good.</p>
<p>Just make sure your dads general info is on the main form...while all the info (general + income stuff) is on the non-custodial form.</p>
<p>Only information she can absolutely, positively verify 100%, like his name, DOB, and maybe SS#. The more information you supply about the noncustodial parent, the less financial aid you are likely to receive. Who ever said the noncustodial parent had to be cooperative? Has your mother seen his apartment lease or mortgage documents? If not, how could she possibly know with absolute certainty where he lives? Same with work. Has she seen his paycheck lately?</p>
<p>It does not matter whether the non-custodial parent is cooperative or not, at least with respect to the CSS Profile. Also, private colleges that use their own form or the CSS Profile will require the information. For schools that ONLY use the FAFSA, you could do that since they look at the custodial income and assets only to make an aid determination.</p>
<p>Whether cooperative or not, they will ask for the non-custodial information, and it will be the responsibility of the applicant and his parents to furnish that information...or the applicant will face getting little or no aid--until the non-custodial forms are done.</p>
<p>nevermind (10 characters)</p>
<p>Your mom has custody, but both parents provide the support which will be reflected in the CSS Profile + non-custodial parent form.</p>
