fafsa, change to lower income parent...?

fafsa, change to lower income parent...? i applied for fafsa since i started college three years ago, and have NEVER been eligable.thing is, i dont even live at home with my mom, i live with my boyfriend, and i live off $500 a month from stipend i get from my scholarship.here's my problem.i want to do "corrections" on my 07-08 fafsa and put that i'm living with my father, who gets low income.i know that if i just use only his income, i will be eligable to get some fafsa.is it ok for me to just put my father's income on the fafsa, and not my mom's and stepdad's, if i dont leven live with any of them and live on my own, to get any amountof financial aid?is it considered illegal to not report my mom's income, even if i'm not living with her?other than medical and dental insurance, i don't get anything else from my mom, no money, nothing, i support myself in every other way.so, can i just make corrections to fafsa and only put my father's income?
--------------------
When your parents divorced, was your mom or dad awarded custody?If it was your mom, then you must legally use her information when completing the FAFSA.If your parents were awarded joint custody - who provided more than 50% of support for you?Again, if it was your mom, then you must legally use her information.At this point you cannot make corrections and change from your mother's income to your father's.You could try and complete a special circumstances appeal with the financial aid office, but unless there are extenuating circumstances as to why you need to change, then it will most likely be denied.Sorry!Talk to a financial aid officer at your school for more information/guidance.Good luck!
