Hi everyone, this is my first time here, I hope you're all doing well.
I have a question about my daughter's student finance application.
I am a divorced, but re-married father of 3, and I currently live alone with my daughter, as my wife and I live completely separately. My wife, my daughter's step-mother, lives in her own house, and has all of her financial ties associated with her own household and close family. Needless to say, we live and operate separately, and my daughter (nor myself) will receive financial support from my wife.
For this reason - I was wondering, what happens if my daughter doesn't list her step-mother on the finance application? I have a single-occupancy tax bill to evidence myself and my daughter being the only people at this address. I know this topic is a hard one, and there are stories of the game of SFE/SLC being "played", but we're a low-middle class household, and I'd like my daughter to receive as much support from the maintenance loans as possible.
Thanks very much,
Kindest regards.
