[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here again. Thank you everyone for your help and perspectives. A follow-up question.

Is there a divorced parent who completed the CSS who could tell me... do they by any chance break down the EFC by each parent when divorced? Like, the EFC is 150K, 100K from dad 50K from mom?

That might be helpful for me to show my ex or his parents who would potentially help out. And yes I am saving money and not counting on anyone else, but it would just be good to know what to anticipate there. Thank you![/quote]

Each parent who does FAFSA gets the EFC based on his or her income.  The FAFSA calculates for each parent.  The colleges see both FAFSAs and simply combines these EFCs. Each parent, however, only sees his or her FAFSA EFC.  [/quote]

I thought FAFSA was only completed by the custodial parent.[/quote]

This is true for schools that require only custodial parent info, usually state universities (in CA).  Private schools require FAFSA and CSS from BOTH parents.
