Asking for someone else. If your parents are divorced, are your loan/grants calculated on their joint income or the income of the parent you live with? I'm guessing the former but I'm not in this situation so need to check.
Also, if a parent doesn't want to give their details, does this mean you can't apply for income assessed? And if they did give their details do they stay private from the child? (I mean obviously you'd be able to guess based on the calculator thing but I'm talking about the forms...)

The parent they live with, but have fun sending the evidence (ie divorce papers). I had to send mine twice because they decided to send it back without recording it.

The income of the one you live with. Because it's 'Household' income.
That's how I did it anyway

I never had to send papers like that... my parents were still married, but seperated and living apart...

If the parent you live with will not send their income evidence in then yiu won't get any grant or bursaries and will only get the minimum maintenance loan.

Really? I know that if you're applying as an independent you have to prove you have no contact with your parents... surely if your parents are divorced and you still see the parent you don't live with they should be expected to fund you in the same way as the parent you do live with?

as long as proof of legal separation is provided then yes.
Proof is a solicitor's letter or a council tax single person payment proof.

It's household income, so your dad could be a millionaire but it won't count if you don't live with him.

A family home in the cotswolds and dad spending each weekday in a London flat won't work.

Learn from the "rich kids" - always claim you live with the poorest parent. Then get the well-off parent to subsidise your lifestyle through college. Best of both worlds.
