proof of residency question

[Anonymous]

My mother lives WOTP and the long term goal is to buy her house from her, but she is not ready to move yet and neither are we.

So my question is what is legal? My choices are 1. do nothing - Stay at our IB school until we actually move (prob not for 3-5 years) and then just transfer DD in at 2nd or 3rd once we actually move OR 2. I'm wondering if it's legal to rent a room from her for next years lottery when DD will be going into K (so she can start off with the class she will eventually be in anyway) or similarly buy the house from her so we legally own it and pay taxes but then rent it back to her until we are all ready to make moves?

If your child doesn't live in the house it isn't your child's residence.

Unless your kid is actually sleeping there most nights, using that address for IB enrollment is fraud.

School employee here.

Yep, that's fraud. You won't be alone in doing it, but it's still fraud.

Just get your license, bill in your name or car registration for your moms address. It's that simple and folks do it all the time.

Who will question it? And opt out for including your dets in the school directory generated from the PTA.

Yes, people break the law all the time. It's still illegal and wrong. You sound like a wonderful role model for your kids.

Oh, and no playdates at your house.

Are you white OP? Seems like all the stories about people being charged with crimes for doing the old address switcheroo thing are black people (at least all the ones I have seen) so if you are white you’re probably good.

I like you immediate past poster. Because you’re almost certainly right. In case you wonder what’s wrong with us.

Just for a few years; no biggie.

I'd move to her house. How big is it? Does she have a basement/basement apartment?
We have people in the building who use a unit number that doesn't even exist. One can call it a typo when asked about it.

The news stories are about residency fraud, not boundary fraud. Your attempt to make about it race is off-base.

OP, you already know the answer to your question, don’t you?

It is when you force your child to lie. You either tell them they need to lie or they are absolutely going to spill the beans at some point.
