CSS Profile HELP: Not in contact with non-custodial parent!

I am living with my mother and she is a single parent. She supports me and at a time, she supported my brother as well. He is 21 and out of the home and now it’s just me. His father and mine are different so she’s never had this problem before. My brother is in contact with his father and I’m not in contact with mine. I’ve never met him and up until this point, I’ve thought he was someone else - don’t ask - until I made her tell me the truth. On my birth certificate is another person, who is not my father, but I don’t claim him nor does he claim me. My real father’s whereabouts are unknown and nobody is in contact with him. I don’t plan on hunting him down anytime soon either.

I don’t know what to do about the non-custodial parent forms and I’m nervous because the deadline for financial aid for one school I applied to is this Friday and that’s the only part I haven’t filled out. I’m reading something about waivers for this form but it says they’re tough to obtain. Can anyone help me understand this?
