If parents have ability to contribute to LS, but aren't...
...actually going to be contributing anything toward paying for LS, does that in any way affect the financial aid rewards one may get after submitting their FAFSA?

I don't think so. Everyone applying to grad/professional school is considered an independent.

Need-based aid is designed to help people who's parents can't afford to contribute to their educations, not people who's parents are A-holes.
I saw this somewhere... might have been here. I thought it was funny. In all seriousness, you're SOL.

My school and lots of others use NeedAccess, which requires parental information for anyone under 30 seeking need-based aid, notwithstanding the FAFSA.
