I am a freshman in college, and my parents are refusing to help me pay. Because they are capable of paying, though, I am not eligible for need-based aid from my school. I want to gain independence so only my own funds are looked at in the financial aid process.
So, ignoring the questionable ethics, is it true that if I get married (just for convenience) I will be considered legally independent from my parents? Will this increase my eligibility for aid next year? Has anyone actually done this?
Thanks.
