Question

Do they count the non custodial parent income when determing finacial aid for college.?

Answer 1

No.  But they do count a step-parents income.  So if you live with your mom and she is married (your step-dad) then you have to put both hers and step-dads info on the fafsa.  Even if they didn't file together the previous year and even if they werent married the previous year.

Good luck.

Answer 2

If the parent's are separated or divorced, they will only use the primary parent's information.

Good Luck!
