<p>If your state does not have common law marriage, file FAFSA with your mother being the custodial parent. She does not have to have filed taxes to complete FAFSA. Download the form, print out a hard copy and sit down with her to go over the questions. You will have to include any income that your father has provided towards your support including payment of rent/mortgage. Is there anyone in your community such as at your high school, library, rec center that is assisting with financial aid info? That can be of assistance. Ultimately, however, you and your parents are going to have to complete the form to get aid. You may be eligible for some grants, if your mother’s income is low and your father’s support to your family does not put you over certain income threshholds. You will certainly be eligible for some unsubsidized Stafford loans at very least. </p>
<p>If you cannot get to school to get these forms completed, how on earth are you going to get to classes?</p>
