[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if you're here asking if it's OK to use your mom's address for a school, I'd wager that you don't have the moxie to pull this off.  In these situations, my advice would to be pay your DC taxes where you like, as long as a family member owns the house and it's not rented out.  Nobody's business but yours where you sleep.  Collect a stack of residency docs in case you're investigation for residency fraud, and don't advertise where your residency situation at the school you use.  If you get investigated, switch houses with your mom til things blow over.  If you need your choice validated by non family members, you're not cut out for this shades-of-gray approach to residency.  The holier than though moralists on these threads are blowhards who deserve to be ignored.

I respect you for at least detailing how this is fraudulent.  What annoys me is when people claim it isn't. [/quote]

Fradulent, whatever. We use a property we jointly own w/grandparents as our IB address. We renovated the house extensively, mainly through sweat equity and love the place. Kids stay there often. We tune out the small number of school busybodies whisper about us. DCPS investigated us and cleared us years back.  If you want to use a relative's address for IB, have the good sense not to talk about it, and to keep your chin up.  In the grand scheme of things, you pay plenty in taxes to the City and even the best DCPS schools are no great prize, OP.[/quote]
You’re a horrible person. Your ridiculous sense of entitlement harms people. [/quote]

+1.  I hate people who try justify to themselves why they should get to break the rules.[/quote]
