<p>my ex wife completed the fafsa using her income info, but my son is on my w2 listed as a dependant. he does live with her more. does this matter whos income is used. does he have to be listed on her w2?</p>
<p>No. THe situations are independent. If your son lives with his mom more, than she is the custodial parent despite who takes the tax exemption for him.</p>
<p>No it does not matter who claims him as a dependent. FAFSA asks for who he lives with the most.</p>
<p>thank you for the immediate responses.</p>
