Financial Aid - Pell Grant Application ... Need help ?
My Boyfriend and I have been living together for about 9 yrs. and he started attending college in the Fall and applied for Financial Aid. He was approved and said they'll send him his first check soon. Before they do they needed him to fill out one more paperwork. It was regarding any dependents or adults living in the same household. I live with him so he wrote down the information that I live with him and under relationship to student he wrote Domestic Partner. Now they put his Financial Aid payment on hold until he provides them a proof of Partnership. We're not married just living together. He told them it's a Common-Law marriage but they want Proof. How can you get proof for Domestic Partnership or Common-Law marriage ? According to California Law ... Common-Law marriages are not recognized. How can we clear this up ? Anyone been in this situation before with Financial Aid and how did you clear it up ??

The best way to clear it up is for him to correct the fafsa. "Number in household"
Or ask the school to correct it. If you read the instructions about who to include in the "household" (note: this is not always the number of people living in the household ie YOU) you can't list a girlfriend unless you are common law married. So, to fix this, he would need to correct the "number in household" (to just himself if he listed both you and him). If you were married, then he would be able to include you, since you are not, he can't.
You obviously have no "proof" you are married (no documentations) otherwise you would know about it. Since you can't show the school you are married, you are not.
