<p>I would not grant a dependency override simply because a student was kicked out of the house. However, if that same student had no place to live because he was kicked out of the house … I might consider that student at risk of homelessness. There are many factors to be considered in cases like the OP’s. My suggestion is to file a dependency override request, providing as much detailed info & supporting documentation as possible for the aid officer to review. </p>
<p>I have dealt with students kicked out by their parents for various reasons. Sometimes it results in an override, other times it does not. One student ended up getting unsub loans as a result; that can be an option in certain cases (requires parents signing statement indicating that they do not and will not provide ANY assistance to their child).</p>
<p>Difficult situations should be discussed with the school’s financial aid office.</p>
