<p>My parents are divorced, and I currently live with my mom. </p>
<p>But even though I live with my mom, my dad will pay for my college.</p>
<p>So for the FAFSA application, do I put my dads information because he will be the one paying for college?</p>
<p>No. Put your mom’s. Custodial parent is what the FAFSA is looking for.</p>
<p>What if my parents have “joint custody” in which both parents are custodial parents?</p>
<p>Then do I go to who I have lived the last 12 months with, or who has financially supported me the most the last 12 months?</p>
<p>Typically they are going to want to know who you are living with. Very unusual to go the other way.</p>
<p>Ok, thanks.</p>
<p>The rules are in the FAFSA instructions. You use the information for the parent you lived with more. If you lived with both equally, which would be unusual, then you use the parent who provided more than 50% of your support in the last year.</p>
<p>[Who</a> is considered a parent?](<a href=“http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/help/ffdef07.htm]Who”>http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/help/ffdef07.htm)</p>
<p>“If your parents have divorced or separated, answer only the questions about the parent that you lived with most during the last 12 months. If you did not live with one parent more than the other, answer only the questions about the parent who provided most of your financial support during the last 12 months.”</p>
