My family is low-income. My parents are divorced, mom makes little money, and my dad makes a boatload of money ($300k whoo). Dad pays child support for my 16-year-old sister but otherwise, he doesn’t support us financially. With mom’s income, I have an EFC of 0 and received a Pell Grant for cc.

Divorced parents can be problematic for financial aid at many colleges.
