LOOKING at the FAFSA site i found this

What if the Student's Parents are Divorced? Or Remarried?
If the student is dependent and his/her parents' are divorced or separated, include information for the custodial parent.
The custodial parent is defined as that parent with whom the student lived with the most the prior year. If the student lived with each parent the same amount of time, or lived with neither parent, the custodial parent is the one who provided the most financial support to the student. If neither parent supported the student financially, the student must pick one of their parents to use on the FAFSA as the custodial parent.
Even if the parents file a joint tax return in 2004 (for the 2005-06 school year) but are now separated or divorced, include only the custodial parent's information on the FAFSA application.
If the student's parents are divorced or separated, do not include the name or financial information for the noncustodial parent. If the custodial parent is remarried, the step-parent's financial information must be included (in addition to the custodial parent's information).
I think you need to rethink why all the sudden your mom will not have money to pay for a private education for you**************...IT IS because she will stop recieving the child support from your father once you are no longer a child so indeed he DID contribute and help your mother with that private education she "singlehandedly" handed you.
Also a lot more comes to honey than lemons....recent studies show that non custodial parents who contribute more to extra cirricular expenses and other priveledges beyond Child Support had consistent healthy relationships with their children. It is human nature to nurture but it is not human nature to blindly send money to entitled ungrateful people.
Now that you are adult or close, your bond with your dad is as much your responsibility as his and has NOTHING to do with your mother.
I felt like you for many years when I was younger and i blame no one but myself...this book helped me a lot
