<p>After forwarding the Non-Custodial Parent form to my dad, he responded that he needed to know how much my mom made last year.</p>
<p>I don't really feel comfortable giving him any more information than he needs to know, so I'm wondering whether or not that is even asked. </p>
<p>Is the form something that he should be able to complete on his own without any extra information from us?</p>
<p>Your dad does NOT need your mom’s info. He may be mistaking the part where it asks for spouse’s info. That is for the info if he has a current wife. it’s not for his ex-wife’s info.</p>
<p>If your dad doesn’t have a wife, then he leaves that area blank.</p>
<p>Do NOT give your dad your mom’s info. He doesn’t need it …and he shouldn’t have that info.</p>
<p>Is it possible that your dad is just asking for that info for his own personal reasons? he only needs his own finacial info to fill out his form (and any info about any current wife).</p>
<p>Perhaps your dad is asking for that info to determine how much each parent should pay. However, he should not be told this info. </p>
<p>When you get your aid package from your school, it will give one total amount that your family has to pay. Your parents will have to decide how that amount is split. That can be a problem with some divorced parents.</p>
<p>Well, CSS definitely needs that information. The NC parent, however, gets a separate log-in by which she can provide it. If it’s NOT provided on time, the whole application would be considered incomplete, unless some form is signed that the NC parent is no longer involved at any level.</p>
<p>I didn’t think he needed it; I’m not sure if he’s confused or wants it for other reasons.</p>
<p>Thanks for your help. This whole process is pretty confusing, so I appreciate it. :)</p>
<p>Have you talked to your dad about how much he’ll contribute each year? If not, you probably should.</p>
<p>We’re working on it at the moment; our contact with him is limited. We don’t anticipate much help from him, so we are considering other options than just going to a dream school where I’ll have to take on debt.</p>
<p>I have a full-ride scholarship at a local university, so I was thinking about going there for 2 years to get pre-requisites done, then transferring to the school I really would like to graduate from. </p>
<p>We do have two years of school paid for wherever I decide to go, so that will help.</p>
