I am going to be applying for financial aid in January, and I'm very paranoid that I won't receive any. My parents are divorced, the decree states that my mother only has to pay 1/3 of the tuition of the University of Iowa (where I am from). My father is agreeing to pay 1/3 of wherever I go, which leaves a lot on me.
My mother just recently remarried to a man who makes probably $120k per year. My father is an anesthesiologist and has been for 20 years, and he is also the president of his group, so he makes over half a million. My mom has sole custody, but her alimony is obviously gone because she remarried.
I guess my question is, since I live mainly with my mom and my dad only pays child support, will they only look at HER household income? Or will the fact that my father makes $500k+ a year impact it as well?
I am just really worried about student debt.
