Financial Aid In Complicated Situation?

Question:I'm 25y.o and my husband has his school loan of $30000 he is paying back every month. He has absolutely zero saving but going back to school from next year to make himself valuale in the marketing so started to save money recently.

His annual imcome is $50000 but 1/3 of his pay is taken for tax so he gets $2700 every month into his pocket. He pays

*$1000 for rent and utilities/bills
*$500 for loan
*$250 for savings for next schooling

And almost all of remains($950) will be gone for food/ daily supplies/ transportations fee/ books for his job/ activities which leaves him nothing after all.

I've never been supported by him financially but since I'm married, my husband's imcome will be the subject to be determined how much support will I get from FAFSA.

My question is, is there any way to proof FAFSA that I have never depended on his finance nor will he ever help me out financially which puts me so hard situation to go to school?

I really need a help for this matter.

Answers:
I'm confused. Are you separated from your husband? Do you live under the $1000.00 a month roof he pays for? Eat from the $950 for food/daily supplies he pays for? If you are legally separated from this man, then you do not have to put his income on the fafsa.

If you are married, you need to make sure you are accurate on the FAFSA in the "number of people in college" for that particular year. (It makes a big difference in determining eligibility).
Hope it helps!
no, you will not be able to leave your husbands income off of the fafsa. you are legally married and he is your husband and that is your money also whether he shares with you or not. this is just like all those 18+ year olds who dont want to disclose their parents income on fafsa bc they are 18 and/or the parent is not planning to help with college. it does not matter if your husband supports you or not, he is your spouse and that money is part of your household income and should be rightfully considered in determining your aid amount. BTW, no one is ever going to believe that your own husband will never help you. If that is true, you should get divorced from him and then only your income will go on the fafsa. why would you marry someone who does not help you out financially and never will, as you say
