Question: My son lived with his dad from his sophomore year until the start of his senior year (aug 08). I have always had legal custody and claimed on taxes, but he chose to live with his dad. They had a falling out and he moved back with me for the 4 months left of that year. HOwever, when Jan came and we were rushed to fill out the fafsa, he still wasn't speaking with his dad and since I didn't have his financial information, we filled out the fafsa with my info since he was living with me at the time. HOWEVER--his dad provided his support and he would have qualified for aid had they filled it out. Now his dad and stepmom are willing to file for him but --IS IT TOO LATE to make that change? I figured it was better that at least I filled it out, even though he wouldn't receive any aid. THe schools all pushed us to get it filled out. So , what can we do if anything?
