What do I do if I cannot file the FAFSA?

it is not necessarily wrong if any of the below are true:

To qualify for the Head of Household filing status while married , you must: File your taxes separately from your spouse. Pay more than half of the household expenses. Not have lived with your spouse for the last 6 months of the year.

Yes, but OP has written that “My mom files as HOH, but she has been married and living with my stepdad for three years.”
