Single Adoptive Divorced parent - FAFSA Status

@jotvjo the questions are there to determine if you are married now. Just put that 30 year old date of your divorce in that next question.

Reason being…if you are married, your spouse income and assets would be counted in the FAFSA whether this is a parent…or not.

You aren’t married. Put the date of your divorce.

Just put your 30 year old divorce date into the field.

This may not be common, but this happens. Many divorced women later adopt or give birth to children while single.

The FAFSA may get pulled for verification, so be ready to supply the divorce date cert and the adoption date cert to show that there’s no connection.
