[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn't matter whether you leave the state or the country.  The effect is identical:  you lose in state tuition privileges one year following abandoning the state.  [b]The only way to get around this legally is for your kids to be declared independent, but that's difficult to do because the presumption is that undergraduate students are dependents and it's hard to get around that.[/b]

BUT -- it's not that hard to sneak around it.  If you have electronic billing set up, don't change your address.  Everything will continue to be sent to you on line with your old address.

Worked for me.

What would be the ways around it?   OP's kids would have to get married, have a kid, or enlist in the military...any other options?[/quote]

At age 18+, aren't the children eligible to no longer be "dependents" regardless of marital, veteran, etc status? if the kids are living in VA, even at a rented apartment, and paying VA taxes, AND assuming the kids aren't getting grants/aid from FAFSA, then why not age 18?  (My kids are still in HS, so I am not fully knowledgeable about being declared independent.)

No. There is a presumption that kids under 24 are dependents and you need to overcome that presumption by clear and convincing evidence. [/quote]
