Yes, the the financial aid office will keep the information confidential (they will eventually ask for a copy of the court order in order to grant him status as an independent student).

Since he is attending a new school, I would recommend that you make an appointment with the guidance counselor (who will also keep any information that you tell him/her confidential) and talk to them about the situation. They will be useful in the even that you will ever need a third party letter corroborating the situation. Your name will be on his schools records as guardian and you will be the person that teachers and coaches contact as long as he is still attending high school (turning 18 does not necessarily make you an adult if you are attending high school because if something happens they are still mandated to contact the partent/guardian of record).
