I was told that to qualify for financial aid, one's parents must earn less than some particular amount.

I don't speak with my parents, we're not at all on good terms, and they haven't so much as given me a dime for my education. If I apply for financial aid will FASFA still take account of my parents income? If so, at what age do they cease to take account of it?
 
^^^ and that's not true, in most cases you're still expected to give your parent tax information. It doesn't matter if you live with them or not.

You have to be at least 24.
OR you can be married, have dependents, military experience, or be seeking a degree other than a bachelor's degree.
 
you have to be able to prove you have been independent and living on your own for the past 36 months...

age is not a factor if you can show you have been on your own and outside your parents home for at least 36 months, they would consider your income alone without factoring the parents..
