Fafsa and Grad school

Hi, I “hopefully” will have a son that will be in grad school, at least part time, but hopefully full in a year. I know he will be independent for the fafsa and dependent for our taxes, but does anyone have any feedback on how aid might differ in this new phase for him?
I know college FA offices might look at my twins entering college as having 3 students in school with my son, but I’m not counting on that. What I don’t know is will his grad schools look at us as supporting him since he will be only 21 when he graduates and not working full time? Making under 4,000 a year, he wont have very much to claim.
Thanks for sharing any experience.
