Does child support have to be on the FAFSA?

Yes, child support must be reported on the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) if it is received by the student or their parents. It is considered as part of the family's income and can affect the student's eligibility for financial aid. However, if the child support is paid, it is not included in the FAFSA calculations. Always check the latest guidelines or consult a financial aid advisor for specific situations.
