Answer 1

they will still use your parents income until you are married or 25, i was living on my own and they still used my parents income but talk to your school

Answer 2

It doesn't matter to FAFSA if you are living on your own and not on your parent's income. You still have to use your parent's information until you are "independent" for fin aid purposes....this means you must meet 1 of 7 criteria:
1. For the 2006-07 school year (blue FAFSA), the student must be born before 1-1-1983; or for the 2007-08 school year (yellow FAFSA), the student must be born before 1-1-1984);

2. The student must be married; or

3. The student must have a child or other dependents who receive more than half their support from the student; or

4. The student must be enrolled as a graduate student (master's, doctoral) or professional student (medicine, dentistry, or law); or

5. The student must be a qualified veteran of the U.S. military or be active duty in the U.S. military; or

6. The student must be an orphan (parents deceased) or ward of the court or was a ward of the court until age 18; or

7. The student must have special and unusual circumstances which can be documented to his or her college financial aid administrators (i.e., abuse in the family, alcoholism, etc.). This exception is rare and only an experienced financial aid administrator at your college can make this "dependency override" on the FAFSA application.

I hope this helps
