Did you request a non-custodial parent waiver? If not…you need to do this at all schools requiring the non-custodial parent form. Some schools will grant this and others won’t. But unless I’m missing something…you need to provide documentation to EACH college regarding your non-custodial parent.
If all you needed to do was say “I don’t have contact with this person” many folks would just do that. Clearly, this is not the case.
Please check your colleges. It would be awful to have an incomplete financial aid submission…
