Mhamadock, your ex husband’s income is not needed for FAFSa. For schools that just want FAFSA, you will be fine, but those schools just do not tend to be as generous. PROFILE schools and schools that have their own apps tend to ask for the non custodial parent’s financials. If the parent has been out of the kid’s life and not supporting for many years, there is a form that states such that your high school GC will have. But if he has been in the kid’s life, paying child support and such, you do have to get his financials. That is a big bugaboo for many applying for fin aid when you have a screwed up ex who refuses or just can’t fill out any form to save his life. If he won’t do it, the kid is out of luck at many schools in terms of financial aid. This is often a situation by situation apprisal so it is wise to speak to the schools fin aid offices where your child is applying.
