When applying for financial aid, does it matter if you put your mother’s OR father’s information? I am still considered a dependent on them so I have to put their information. They are divorced so who’s information do I put down?(they only ask for one or the other)

When I graduated high school my mom had college laid out on a red carpet but I pissed away the opportunity. I’m now 20 and I want to rectify my mistakes and go to college and stop goofing off. There’s a community college near my home that costs about ,400 a year. I planned on applying for financial aid but my mom says I don’t qualify because she makes too much money. Her yearly salary is about 50k. Is this true?
I have a 16 month old son and I set up a 529 account for him. I read before that as of now, when applying for financial aid they don’t look at 529 account balances. But a person at my bank just said that it will hurt his chances of financial aid. Anyone know the answer?

When applying for financial aid is it really beneficial to the student to be claim as a dependent or to claim themselves? Basically, would this be the difference being denied and being accepted for scholarships or loans?
Can anyone lead me to an article or something that says you have to be over 24 to claim not dependent? My sister already did her taxes (she’s my twin, 23) and she says since she wasn’t enrolled in school last year that Dad can’t claim her and she’s already filed her return and gotten her rebate check.
I finished applying for financial aid on September 2nd. Being really broke and recently laid off I am in desperate need of money but I have not heard word from anyone for almost 2 months now. I asked the financial aid office at school and I was told it should take one and a half months but that has past. What should I do?
