What if I don't know my father or his occupation/college but I know he is alive?

<p>Also, he doesn't live in the country.
I have no idea what college he went to and my mom doesn't know.
He does not contribute to anything and the common app just keeps insisting that I find out.
well I cant
so what do i do.</p>

<p>Just don’t list it. I don’t think it will make that big a difference.</p>

<p>I am having exactly the same problem. I am filling out the Noncustodial Parent Waiver to send to the colleges, but the Common App is insisting that I fill out info I don’t know. It literally will not let you submit if things are left blank.</p>

<p>Are you able to type in a word like “unknown”? Then it won’t be blank.</p>
