<p>My parents are separated, and my dad is my "custodial parent" (as I indicated on both the CSS profile and the FAFSA). In addition to sending my father's, should I also send signed/dated copies of my mother's taxes/W2's?</p>
<p>Each school is different, some want that and some don’t. I would not send anything that hasn’t been asked for - if you go to the financial aid website of each college it should list what it wants to see. If the information there is confusing (as it can be), you can email the aid office and ask (I did this with one because I could not make sense of the instructions and I am the parent!) They told me - if we want it, we’ll ask for it.</p>
