[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like it's not worth the trouble for the cost, for someone who has a second home in Telluride.

If you don't sever ties with your current state, that may be an issue. Would you sell your current home?[/quote]

No we wouldn't. I guess I just don't see the big drawback, if we are retired at this point, to changing our primary residence and we would already be living about half the year in each state. Since we have owned the home for so long, a lot of the proof of domicile is already available (proof of address, utilities).

You’ll probably want to move before attending:

No person may establish domicile in Colorado solely for the purpose of changing a student's classification for tuition purposes from nonresident to resident.

Absent clear and convincing evidence to the contrary, it is presumed that a student classified as a nonresident at the time of matriculation who seeks to establish Colorado domicile while registered at CU seeks Colorado domicile solely for tuition purposes, which is an unlawful purpose [Colorado Revised Statutes § 23-7-101-103(2)(e)].[/quote]

This. OP you are not the first person to try this and the state has taken steps to keep people explicitly from doing what you want to do. If you wanted in-state tuition you should have moved there when your kids were still in HS.

If you have a house in Telluride you can afford OOS tuition. Stop being cheap.[/quote]
