Legal Question in Family Law in Washington

Legal seperation from my parents

I am 18 and i've been out of my parents house for a while because of disagreements and other factors that lead me to decide i shouldn't be there any more. Now that i've been accepted to a college and im applying for FASFA my parents won't give me their financial information and becuase im not emancipated i can't be an independent. i need to know how and if i can seperate myself from my parents to finish this form.
