[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I'm reading on this thread is that objecting PPs are laying down rules about what "resides" means in the District, without spelling them out.  I can't find a clause in DC law stating that a parent, child or both parent and child must sleep at a certain address X number of nights in the year to claim a property as their primary residence in the District of Columbia to render said address legit for school enrollment purposes.

For those crying FRAUD, how do your rules read?  Under your rules, how many nights would the mom, the child, or both mom and child need to stay in this condo for them to be able to use it to register the child at a DCPS program in Upper NW, on top of having obtained the requisite residency verification docs?

Are you arguing that a certain % of the child's stuff would need to be in the condo X number of days in the year (rather than, say, in a storage unit?).  What percentage?  Are you arguing that if the child sleeps in the condo a X number of nights in the year, that the mom could in fact use the address to register him?  Or would more have to happen, Grandma shares legal custody of the child with the parents?

Not clear on what your standards are for residency/domicile are, or the DC's either, in regard to this particular scenario, or how relevant they are.[/quote]

Those are excellent questions for OP's defense lawyer. What I can say with certainty is that never staying in the condo and never intending to leave the Shaw house is NOT "residing". [/quote]

Who gives a flying f***, if all these folks instead of stirring up stuff on DCUM would only write what she's described here on the application form DCPS would make a decision; however, they don't they make up their own determination and lie. IF you have nothing to hide write "reside" unsure here is my situation .... the fact they even mentioned fraud tells us there is something not legit about this situation. Who in their right mind would pay for a condo to sit unrented for 3 years while a child attend school in said school district. Complete waste of money could be spent on child to have a personal tutor and all sorts of extra curricular if present school is so bad...[/quote]
