[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another exception in VA is if a parent works in VA and pays VA state income taxes then your child can get in-state tuition.  You would need to do this at least a year in advance.  That might be easier then moving your whole family.  [/quote]

If you live in MD and work in DC, you do not pay VA income tax, due to tax reciprocity agreements between the states. Besides, the proof of residency in VA usually includes that the person has RESIDED in VA for a year.

§ 23-7.4:2. Eligibility for in-state or reduced tuition for students not domiciled in Virginia; tuition grants and in-state tuition for members of the National Guard.

A. Students who live outside the Commonwealth and have been employed full time inside Virginia for at least one year immediately prior to the date of the alleged entitlement for in-state tuition shall be eligible for in-state tuition charges if such student has paid Virginia income taxes on all taxable income earned in the Commonwealth for the tax year prior to the date of the alleged entitlement. Students claimed as dependents for federal and Virginia income tax purposes who live outside the Commonwealth shall become eligible for in-state tuition charges if the nonresident parents claiming them as dependents have been employed full time inside Virginia for at least one year immediately prior to the date of the alleged entitlement and paid Virginia income taxes on all taxable income earned in the Commonwealth for the tax year prior to the date of the alleged entitlement. Such students shall continue to be eligible for in-state tuition charges for so long as they or their qualifying parent is employed full time in Virginia, paying Virginia income taxes on all taxable income earned in the Commonwealth and the student is claimed as a dependent for Virginia and federal income tax purposes.

Extremely high standard to meet, and the Commonwealth is going after people claiming to be instate and suing for out of state tuition, even in ridiculous circumstances.  It is never, NEVER easy to get residency, I can't imagine it will get easier
