CSS Profile for noncustodial parent- Problems

Paying for College
1

My mother and father are divorced. My mom has custody. My father visits sometimes but he stays in a camper outside the house. I never know when he will stop by or when he leaves. For example, he left a few days before thanksgiving without saying anything-no goodbye.

The problem I’ve run into is that he is unwilling to provide his financial information and i don’t know when he will show up. Apart from when he visits, I have 0 contact with him.

I want to apply to a few colleges that require the CSS, but i won’t be able to without his info. Does anyone have any suggestions for what to do?

Does he pay child support and/or help with household expenses? His camper is on the household property?

Which profile schools are you applying to?

You can apply for a non-custodial Profile waiver at each of those colleges that requires that form.

BUT…you will need to have documentation to support your lack of contact with your dad. I’m not sure how you will that as you just saw him.

His lack of willingness to complete the non-custodial form won’t get you that waiver.

But apply and see.
