Question : how do I get around fafsa's eligibility regulations to be considered an independent student ?
I have been fighting the financial aid office at my school to file for independency being that my mother will not pay my tuition and does not contribute to help me whatsoever. Fafsa does not consider me independent because of its requirements you must meet and they dont consider my situation "dire" enough. Any suggestions?

you can not if your mother has claimed you on hertaxes. But if you claimed yourself that makes youindependent. If not my guess is to have you get astudent loan. The place that I go to iswww.college-assist.com. Good luck.
