My husband and his ex have 50/50 custody (legal and physical) of their two kids. The oldest is applying to colleges and filed FAFSA with the help of his mom. His ex went ahead and filed without including him/us at all.
I read my income is included on FAFSA as well since we are married? He makes around $80,000/ year, I made around $50,000 this year and his ex makes around $40,000 this year. He paid $325 in child support each month, pays around 70% of out of pocket medical and the kids are on his insurance. His ex claims the oldest on her taxes and he claims the youngest (we file separately).
My understanding was his and my income would be what was recorded for FAFSA since custody is 50/50, but we are the ones who provide the most financial support. Am I understanding this wrong?
