Do I have to do the CSS profile?

So my parents are separated but still legally married and my mom does provide the most financial support, but my dad refuses to provide his information as a noncustodial parent and he does not live with us. For me to be eligible for a waiver I have to report court cases or some type of abuse but I don’t have any of that. Should I just not submit it. I did complete the FASFA but I’m afraid I still won’t get enough financial aid.

fordham isn't the best with financial aid just generally, so keeps your hope reasonable, though regarding the CSS, ask your father over text or email if he's willing to write a statement saying that he won't share his finances with you. if he isn't willing to do that, use the waiver form to explain that he won't submit his finances and attach the written interactions to it
