<p>I would check this out to see if it is true. If it is, what would prevent many families from "separating" when they file the FAFSA and then "reuniting" a month or two later. Of course this would be fraud...but...It is true that if your parents are divorced that the non-custodial parent income is not included on the FAFSA.</p>
