<p>My husband filled out the fafsa for his youngest son who will graduate high school this year. He plans on going to a local community college. We dont have custody of him, his mother does and she should have filled out the fafsa with her financial info. My husband has already submitted the fafsa with our financial info on it. We need to have his mother redo his fafsa with her info…how do we do that since its already been submitted? My husband thinks his ex can just sign on and change the martial status and that will wipe out all our personal info, which I dont want her to see. Its none of her business to know how much we make or for her to know my social security number. I think we need to contact fafsa and have them cancel the first fafsa so his mother can redo it. She needs to get a pin number so I dont see how just changing the marital status will wipe out everything. does anyone know what to do in this situation? Thanks

<p>Since your husband likely has a child support obligation for his youngest son, I don’t quite see how your financial information is “none of her business.” But, that having been said, the FAFSA can be updated as soon as it’s been processed - usually within a few days after submission. So just go in and change all the numbers to zero, and then turn it over to mom.</p>
<p>My financial info has nothing to do with his child support, as his sons step mother, my personal info went onto the FAFSA. She doesnt need to see my SS# or how much money I made. </p>
<p>Thanks for replying but how can simply going in and changing the numbers to zero change anything? Wouldnt she have to start over completely with her own pin number or can she do that when she signs on with her sons pin number? </p>
<p>Thanks

<p>Does the son spend more than 50% of his time with his father? Then his dad is custodial for FAFSA even if he isn’t for federal taxes or legal reasons.</p>
<p>Does the son spend exactly 50% of his time with each parent? Then the parent whose household makes more money is custodial for FAFSA.</p>
<p>Sit down with a calendar. Your household may be the custodial one in this situation.</p>
<p>Still not answering the OP’s question about how, exactly, to change the custodial parent on FAFSA . . . and my answer didn’t really help, either. If no one chimes in with a solution, then the OP should probably call the FAFSA helpline on Monday and ask.</p>
