That’s the same as what OP is proposing to do.

If you and kid stay there during the week, sure. I may do this for MS. But that basically implies you're separating from your spouse.

Let’s say we “stay there” for an hour after school. We always sleep EOTP. Same as OP. Still ok?

Ask DCPS let them make a decision we are not experts on DCPS residency fraud

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.

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".

No, she won’t. But good try.

By the way, schools do have mechanisms to check this, although they rarely do. My friend had a home visit and the person looked at the kids’ bedrooms and looked for things like beds, dresser/closet with kids clothes, etc.

So mom makes sure all that is in the condo if and when an inspector comes. It’s going to be HER condo.

Wat about the kid whose honest parents can’t afford two mortgages and who play the lottery but lose because a kid like OP’s kid is taking a spot?

Better question- Why is Wilson the only non-selective high school that people want to go to?

She is not taking a spot if she “resides” in bounds. Would it make a difference if she moved in to the condo? Is that still taking a spot? She is not doing anything legally wrong- doesn’t really matter if you agree with it or not.
She wants a “better” (perceived) education for her child. I can’t fault her for that, I can fault DCPS for the inequities in education across the city and what they are not doing about it!

Cheating? Last I checked she lives in DC and will pay 2 mortgages and DC property taxes on both. Please.
