Yes....FAFSA doesn't include the NCP info. That's why you'll see threads where people will suggest getting a "fake divorce" so that only the mom's low income will count on FAFSA and the kid will then qualify for Pell and other gov't aid.
In Calif it really is an issue because for the UC schools there is a Blue and Gold promise that gives "free tuition" (about $13k) to families that earn under $80k....so those who are living with mom who earns $75k per year, they get free tuition.....even if dad is some affluent business person who is involved with his kids.
The intact family that earns $85k per year won't qualify!
