I am quite sure about it. If she was turning 24 that year she would not have had to include her parents info on FAFSA. The dependency questions can be found on FAFSA. We ran into this with my son who had been financially independent for several years (and we had not claimed him on our taxes )but we still had to provide our financial info when he returned to school. He was only 21 but his girlfriend was in the same situation at 23 and had to provide her Dads info though she had not lived at home for 5 years. She did not qualify for federal aid because of it. This year she turns 24 and is able to file as independent for the 2008-2009 school year and does not provide her Dad’s info. If you read the FAFSA dependency questions instructions here

You should check with the school. Generally the residency you start with is what you stay with. (otherwise everyone would move to another state and change residency and there would be no OOS tuition).But as you are married and therefore considered independent there may be some different rules. But do check into it thoroughly if the being unable to qualify for instate residency would make it financially impossible for you to complete your education at UA. You don’t want to find yourself in a situation where Arizona does not consider you a resident and your home State also does not consider you one any more based on you being married and your husband being now an Arizona resident.</p>
