parents divorce and remarried, fafsa?

Paying for College
1

<p>if my parents are divorced, and i live with one parent who got married. who should fill out the fafsa?</p>

2

<p>The income and assets of the parent you live with (and their spouse) must be reported on FAFSA.</p>

3

<p>^So no information from the other parent goes in fafsa at all?</p>

<p>When parents are divorced…the only parent information on the FAFSA is for the custodial parent (the parent you reside with) and their spouse (if there is one).</p>

<p>If the student lives with both parents an EQUAL amount of the time, the parent (and spouse) reported on the FAFSA is the one with the HIGHER income.</p>

<p>Now…for the Profile, if needed…EVERYONE’s income is reported (both parents and spouses if any).</p>
