[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

I see your point but it's case by case and I think owning a home for over a decade in the state holds quite a bit of weight. It's a lot different situation than just living in the dorm and then renting and trying to claim your rental residence as your primary home.

No it’s not actually different. Your domicile is where you live now not Colorado. Owning a vacation home doesn’t buy you in state tuition. [/quote]

We are retired and plan to live half the year there. Tuition would be applied for after the first year. We always have planned to retire there, that’s why we have owned the home there for 10 years. House was not purchased with intent for in state tuition. We are not employed in current state.  Child just decided to attend college there and chances they will stay there after is greater than any chance of returning to home stars. We will live in this state more than our current one. It’s not a black or white situation and it’s not fraud. [/quote]

Lol OP. It actually is black and white: you are not domiciled in Colorado now, and the sole purpose of you establishing domicile would be to obtain in-state tuition. Because we all know that if you kid gets rejected from Boulder but accepted to UVA, you’ll be claiming Virginia domicile. [/quote]

No, the sole purpose wouldn’t be. We are retiring there and have always planned to (why we bought a house ten years ago) and why we retired early so we wouldn’t have to be tied to this area.

Kid didn’t even apply to UVA. Applied to Colorado College, Boulder, Denver and Mines. [/quote]

So why aren’t you there NOW? The sole reason for you to move there when you do is to establish residency for in state tuition. And you still have not explained why you are so freakin’ cheap. [/quote]

Because we have a child in HS. But their admission into a state school in college is not the reason why. If they ended CC we would still move there. [/quote]
