Your non-custodial parent should NOT be listed at all on your Custodial parent profile form in terms of income and assets, i think you know that. In terms of “relationship” just be honest. You HAVE a non-custodial parent. So…put the level of relation you have with him.

If you don’t get a waiver…your custodial parent does their Profile…and the non-custodial parent does the noncustodial parent form.

I think you are a decent candidate for a waiver. Any chance he has a mental health professional who would be willing to state his inability to do this form?

The worst that could happen is that he is required to do the Profile. Since he has no income…it’s not like it’s going to have an adverse impact on need based aid. Perhaps grandma would be able to help?

Your non-custodial parent should not be on your FAFSA either…at all.
