<p>I want to know if I'm understanding what I've read so far regarding financial aid:</p>
<p>My DD's father has 20% custody per the divorce agreement, but she has never actually stayed with him/lived with him. Are we required to declare his income in addition to mine?</p>
<p>For schools that require the CSS profile or their own institutional aid forms in addition to the FAFSA, yes you must provide your ex's income in addition to your own, Your ex will have to file forms including sending incopies of his taxes and w-2s as the non-custodial parent.</p>
<p>And do you mean that schools that only request the FAFSA do not require income info on the non-custodial parent?</p>
<p>FAFSA does not require non-custodial parent information to be on it unless he is paying for some part of college tuition.</p>
<p>Actually, FAFSA only requires information from the custodial parent. they don't ask anything about the noncustodial, even if the NC has agreed to cover educational expenses.</p>
