Thank you everyone. Our child has a 3.8 gpa, ACT scores of 32 and retaking soon. The gpa should go up with since child is a current junior and has hardest (for child) classes complete. Has primarily science classes left and flourishes in those.

Child and I are primarily looking at schools with guaranteed merit aid or schools that meet 100% of financial need. I live right on border of school system and 10 min from high school. Child spends time 50/50 for the most part between dad and I so if needed could spend more time with me for financial aid purposes if needed.

So every school treats home equity differently for CSS if I am understanding correctly. And would be the same for self employed income for dad.

Does our child have any recourse if dad refuses to give up income / asset information for financial aid? Do I have any recourse?
