How does FAFSA work with divorced parents?

<p>Okay, so I live with my mom 100% of the time. She has a job but doesn't make too much money. My dad, on the other hand, makes quite a bit of money. He gives my mom spousal and child support. So will my EFC be determined by how much my mom makes, or how much both my parents make?</p>

<p>You will report only your mom’s income and assets for FAFSA - income, btw, also includes child support/alimony.</p>

<p>Thank you! This well really help with my FA :)</p>

<p>Don’t get too excited.</p>

<p>FAFSA-only schools don’t usually meet need. So, you may not get much anyway from your schools. </p>

<p>Some schools use CSS Profile and ask for both parents’ financial info.</p>

<p>Also, when you add child support and spousal support to your mom’s income, how much will that be?</p>

<p>Which schools are you considering?</p>
