You need to contact your schools and ask how to handle this.

Many schools do not expect you to provide the info of a step-parent if the marriage is over and the step-parent is now living elsewhere. But ask.

I highly doubt that your stepmom would be asked/expected to fill out NCP. NCP is for BIO parents, not step parents.

And you don’t provide her info on FAFSA either…only your dad’s

You need to get a waiver for your bio mom if NCP info is needed.

Sorry to hear that your step-mom is cutting you out of her life. Very sad that she doesn’t realize that she is the only mom you’ve ever known. {{ hugs }}

I think this is the way it will/should go…

Dad fills out FAFSA with only his info.

Dad fills out CSS Profile with only his info (and provides documentation that his wife/your stepmom lives elsewhere)

You request a waiver for NCP Bio mom. Be prepared to provide some evidence that she’s never been in your life.

Take your stepmom off of your common app. She doesn’t belong there now that she’s not in your household and the marriage is over.
