Reducing family income to increase financial aid award?

Sounds ridiculous to me. Although I know a few very unhappily married couples who got divorced white the kids were sophomores in high school. Worked well for the one who got into CMU!

But were the divorced parents cooperative enough for both to complete FA forms and contribute money for the kids’ college costs (CMU requires the CSS Noncustodial Profile in divorced parent cases)?
