I know someone who had to do this. Her parents were abusive and were refusing to do the FASFA paperwork, holding it over her head for something. She had already been in college a couple of years at this point. So, she found a friend she trusted and they got married, allowing her to get the funding she needed to continue to attend college.
The US is so trash.
by such a large degree it's frightening. Waiting for the Bell riots to happen is taking forever
My girlfriend was in a similar situation. The people at FASFA will work with you if you can prove that your parents will not comply and you aren't financially dependent on them. As long as your friend wasn't living with her parents, she likely didn't have to get married.
She had tried working with them and they weren't giving her any other choice.
