FinAid | Professional Judgment | Divorce and Separation

According to this, you do not need documentation of informal separation. I've worked with many awful financial aid representatives that had me gather lots of unnecessary documentation over the past few years (they are poorly trained and as Trump would say, stupid, stupid people). Just explain that you have an informal separation and the tax forms prove that you two are not together. Insist on speaking to a supervisor preferrable one with a degree.

For example, the College of Southern Nevada wanted my wife to use her 2012 Canadian tax returns and convert the income to U.S. dollars to compute her financial aid. This school at the time hired by far the dumbest people to work there with little to no education . A few weeks later they school was fined for botching tens of thousands of financial aid over the past few years (underpaying and overpaying). It turned out since she was not required to file U.S. taxes in 2012, she could not provide a U.S. tax return, and therefore the application should have just been processed then and there. As for education requirements for working in many schools financial aid department, they are looking for GED's and up.
