[quote=Anonymous]The one case I know of was basically Mom moved out to VA and wanted daughter to finish high school in DC where she had been attending. So she puts grandma on the residency documents. Two things here, neither of which make this easier. 1. Wouldn't you want your kid to be able to finish with their school community? Things like this generate sympathy. 2. Let's be honest, the widespread broken or, to be less judgmental, at least multi-generational/matrilineal/typically fatherless family and housing structure of DC families makes people not want too challenge kids' claims that they live with a grandmother or other female relative in DC even of the face of other evidence or complex custody/care situations. And DC in fact has a lot of people in tough situations, so making judgment calls on residency in these kinds of family housing setups is likely to get administrators burned sometimes and they don't want that kind of trouble.[/quote]
