Because a person can only have one primary residence.  The location of one's primary residence is based on an objective test that considers the number of nights slept at a location, where bills are sent, where taxes are paid, and other factors indicative of connection.  Where you sleep is the most significant factor.  If you claim that your primary residence is someplace other than where you sleep most nights, and there is no legitimate reason for sleeping away (such as work travel, vacation, etc.), you are probably committing a fraud.[/quote]

I thought that residency was primarily a tax designation.  Home owners owning more than one habitable real property must designate a primary residence, and pay tax on it as such.

Where are you getting the "number of nights slept at a location" requirement from?  I don't see anything about number of nights slept (for kids? for parents and legal guardians? for both?) anywhere, not under the DCPS residency requirements and forms links, or on the any posted city tax info.  Maybe I'm not looking in the right places.

Even if primary residence is in fact linked to the number of nights slept at a residence (the majority of nights in a given year?), who's in a position to check on that score?  Who decides what a "legitimate reason for sleeping away" might be?   Surely not the FBI, unless you're being investigated for criminal activity.  Surely not the IRS and/or the District/state tax authority, unless you aren't paying all of your property taxes.

If you call the residency fraud hotline to bust a parent, what actually happens anyway?  [/quote]
