<p>Gay Parents </p>

<hr>

<p>I’m having a hard time figuring out how to list gay parents - on the FAFSA form, CSS Profile and the Common Application. My partner and I are both the legal parents of our daughter. I called FAFSA and they said because of the Defense of Marriage Act, gay marriage is not recognized on that form, so neither would the income of the 2nd, non-biological parent. Same is true for the CSS profile. Has anyone been through this process and have some helpful suggestions?</p>

<p>According to this poster FAFSA does not recognize gay marriage. This would not be considered the same as a common law marriage between two heterosexuals. Before anybody flames me I am NOT saying this is right or just…it is what the above poster was told by FAFSA.</p>
