<p>Well, it looks pretty clear from what you cited that it is standard that in subsequent years after the marriage, they will no longer include parents income. I can't see anywhere up there about professional judgment.</p>
<p>(Doesn't mean I think students should do so to try to get more money, but that they will, in fact, according to everything you have posted, become independent, which will mean their spouse's income, not their parents' will be included.) This has actually caused problems for my students, since spousal income is weighed more heavily than parental, and their parents often make very, very little money. They often lose aid if they marry.</p>
<p>Colleges don't care how you support yourself--they just want to know the incomes of the relevant family members: self and parent or spouse.</p>
