In the fall I'm going to be moving away to attend a college while my husband stays behind. We are remaining married, but we will be separating for the next 2+ years. I'm not sure what is going on with our relationship as things have been tense between us, but that's a whole thing that i'm not going to go into. Come January, we plan on filing our taxes separately. When I fill out my FAFSA would I indicate that we are separated? I won't be sharing any finances with him or really being in much contact with him and we have always kept our property and bank accounts separated, never shared money with each other besides paying rent and some bills, etc. I'm not sure what our future is going to be like, marriage-wise, but all I know is that i'm proceeding by myself as a separate individual and would rather not include him in my taxes and FAFSA if I can help it, since we'll be separating but not in a legal separation or a divorce (for now).
