He made a lot of money, lives in a big house and got laid off really well. My question is will his wealth affect my fafsa? He hasnt been working for a while but I feel like since he still lives well off that his finances will hurt my fafsa, and its not like he will help pay either. Thanks in advance, and I have been getting the pell grant ever since I started uni  <response>: Yes.
