Fafsa and "Separated" Parents...

Getting a job won’t make a difference, because you will still be considered a dependent by the state and your college. This means you would still need to provide your parents’ information.

Your mother needs to make an amended tax return, like it or not. You need to talk to HER until you’re blue in the face, unless you guys don’t want financial aid. I’m not sure if you would be able to claim any loans, either, since they need the FAFSA for that, and you would be taking out loans through the state (through the college) and they have the right to deny your loan.
