[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whatt if the child stays with grandma sometimes in DC, but mom lives in MD? Is that allowed? Like, legally speaking, what is the requirement because like some have said, [b]people tend to go back and forth a lot and have family all over the area [/b]Easy enough to put your mom's gas bill in your name. I have neighbors like this is why I ask; kid is at an HRCS.

I know that is common, for sure.  However, I'm not sure that's what happened in the cases that Racine decided to procescute--it seems these 6 cases would be more clear-cut.[/quote]

PP again.  What I meant is not that mom is using grandma's address for sake of convenience, but that some children are actually in unstable/transient living environments, where they literally sometimes live with mom, or with grandma when mom is not doing well, then back to mom or dad, etc.  [/quote]

That is exactly how I grew up thirty-five years ago, except the school districts were reversed.  The only consistency I had was the school and school friends. There was no such thing as grandparent legal guardianship, with paperwork. Honestly, the principals and counsellors back then didn't care about the legality of crossing school jurisdictions, they only cared about me and other children in similar situations. I imagine that is the only thing that has remained the same in regards to residency, the school counsellors caring.  My heart goes out to the children. [/quote]
