If I claim my fiance as a domestic partner will it reduce his chances of getting financial aid for school?

I have been supporting my fiance while he goes to school for two years. Previously he went to a community college and now he goes to a university.( more expensive). If I claim him on my taxes, then he will have to use my figures to apply for financial aid, correct? Is it better not to claim him so he can be independent. He has no income and goes full time. Will it reduce his chances of getting financial aid?

   If you put him down as a domestic partner, it might make you common law married, which could be con-strewed as common law married. If you are married, you have to include the spouses income on the fafsa.
