Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the amount of financial award I receive based on the parent’s income who claims me as a dependent?

<p>no, we already told you that.</p>
<p>if you live with each parent equally, then the next criteria is which parent pays for more stuff for you…food, insurance, etc, if that is equal, then it is which parent earns the most. </p>
<p>does one parent provide your health insurance? car insurance? cell phone?</p>
