If your parents are separated or divorced use the parent with whom you lived the most with in the past 12 months. If you lived with neither parent or lived with each parent an equal number of days use the parent that provided the most financial support to you over the past 12 months. If that parent has remarried you must also include the stepparent’s financial information on the application and parent and stepparent should report themselves as married on the FAFSA.
