Question about financial aid, separated parents, and having a guarantor for an apartment?

<p>Okay, so my mom is a single parent. I've lived with her for 17 years of my life. She's the one who files my fafsa and because of that I receive a good amount aid. I want to lease an apartment off-campus next year but am concerned about the guarantor portion of it. My mom doesn't make enough to be a guarantor but my dad does. If I have him as my guarantor will this affect my fafsa/financial aid. He also lives out of state from where both my mom and I live.</p>

<p>NO it won’t affect your FAFSA, how could it. There’s no mention of these issues on FAFSA.</p>
