    Default Completing FAFSA Form for an Adult Child's College During Bankruptcy

    My question involves bankruptcy in the state of:
    Currently in chapter 13 state of IL. My divorce decree states ex pays for all college tuition, books, expenses etc but I have full custody of my daughter. she starts college in the fall and my ex just went to see the financial administrator at the college. The administrator told my ex my husband and I have to fill out the fafsa form because she is has been living with us the past 12 months. Then my ex gets a number off the fafsa and he can apply for loans and get aid. we are not paying for anything or getting loans he is doing it all , but we have to fill out the form? As long as we are not taking any loans or aid and he is are there any problems for us with the trustee? Do we have to let her know we filled out the form for him because the college/fafsa requires it before he can get aid. The form does not have any questions at all on it about bankruptcy and we filled it out in my daughters name because she is 18 , but the form does asks questions about our finances? How much do your parents have in your checking/savings (which is very little.) etc. I really dont want to tell my ex any particulars about my finances if I dont have to and DO NOT want any problems with the trustee we have been faithfully making payments on time for three and a half years. Can our financial mistake hurt my daughters chances for help with college, because my ex is probably going to have a heart attack if he cant get help because of me

    Your divorce decree is irrelevant to your child's eligibility for financial aid.

    Why do you imagine that the trustee is going to care that you're documenting your income to the college's financial aid office? Completing a FAFSA form is not an application for credit.

    thank you my mistake I thought because my Ex said he was going to take out loans and we were doing the application it was like a credit application and I know we are not suppose to be doing that.
