well I am sorry that my situation is more unique than most, as i do live with my mother more (55% to 45% probably), she does not provide ANY financial support because she does not work or draw unemployment benefits. she takes care of my grandparents, and recieve support from them, but I recieve major support from my dad. I know for a fact that I would certainly be chosen for verification because her non-filer status would be 0 EFC, but i dont think I would have the information to prove and it would be so much easier to just use my dad since he provides the most support and is my legal guardian anyways!
