Can I use different addresses for the FAFSA and my common app?

And the address you use for colleges needs to be the place where you actually sleep. If you don’t live in Virginia, you won’t be graduating from a Virginia high school. You need to check to see if your dad’s residency there entitles you to instate status. In some states it might. I’m not sure about Virginia. @Mwfan1921 do you know?

IIRC, UVA requires both the custodial and non-custodial parent information for determining aid…but it sounds like you are just looking for instate status for admissions and tuition purposes.
