Answer 1

It's based on the results of your FAFSA -- the rules have nothing to do with where you live, who you live with, or whether your dad claims you as a dependent.

In order to not use his income on your FAFSA, you must be an independent student. No matter what anyone tells you - these are the ways one is an independent student, they're very clear and very firm. If one applies to you then, you don't use the parent's info on the FAFSA - if none apply to you, then you use their income.

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); [my note: 2008-2009 will be born before 1-1-1985) you may qualify here....] or

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. [don't count on this one; this usually comes with a story like "dad left when I was born and mom has been in prison for five years, I've been raising my little sister myself by selling newspapers......]

Answer 2

If you are thinking about getting a loan, then you should know about the basics before you get started. If you understand the basic dos and don’ts of loans, then you will be better equipped to find the best loan for your needs. Whatever type of loan you are applying for, you should follow these basic rules to help you find the best deal. When searching for a loan, it pays to do your research. Look for as many suitable lenders as you can, so that you can find the very best deal. There are many online pages thatyou can afford. Taking loans out over 10 years or more can be risky, and you cannot be sure what your financial situation will be at that time.

Answer 4

You have to prove that you are abandoned by your parents for them not to look at your parents income, up until a certain age (look at fafsa on the .gov website). Or you have to be married OR have a dependent of your own, then they only consider the income or your own family (spouse & kid). It doesn't matter if they claim you or haven't lived with them in years. You have to prove abandonment.

Answer 5

until you are 24 or married whichever comes first, they will look at your parent's income. even if they don't claim you as a dependant.
