OP, you can’t just choose which parent to have fill out the fafsa. You have to use the parent with whom you lived most in the 12 months preceding filing the fafsa. What are your living arrangements now? Do you live at or near your college or are you living with a parent and commuting to school? If living at school who do you live with during breaks/summer? Some schools can have a fafsa deadline in April for continuing students but that would still be too late to move in with your Dad now and have him be the custodial parent for fafsa unless you have already lived some with your Dad this year.
