Hi. can anyone tell me how can i qualify for a dependency override on my financial aid?

I moved out from my mom since she got together with her husband. Its not that I just dont like him, but lets just say he's inappropriate towards me. I didnt move out right away though. I told my mom about it and she acted as if nothing happened and marry the guy instead. I didnt have any choice, i left. For that i think I qualify for dependency override, since I consider it to be both mentally and emotionally abusive. When I first moved out I lived with my aunt for a while, but my aunt just like everybody else was only able to help me for a while, since she doesnt have a job and completely relies on her husband financially. After a couple of months, I had to leave because their expenses are going up. My dad ped away when I was one and so not knowing where to go or who to ask for help i decided who to move to another state where I had a job offer from a friend. Not knowing anyone there I decided to start my life again. I went back to school after a semester. I used my savings from working two jobs one full time the other one's part time, when i wasnt going to school yet. But that didnt last long, by second semester I was already struggling because I have to work less hours since Im back to school, while my expenses went up because of books and tuition. This is my second year in college. last year was crazy for me bacause I could barely get by juggling my time between school and work. I dont mind working. But my life would be so much easier if I dont have to work so many hours while going to school just so I could pay rent. I was hoping I could get a little bit of relief this semester. Im considered a dependent still in the eyes of financial aid and so I have to do a dependency override to qualify. My problem is I can only have my relatives, friends and coworkers to confirm this story.. I couldnt think of anyone who could verify my story professionally, which the financial aid office requires, because i didnt really seek for that kind of help.
