<p>Melli, he is a resident of VA paying taxes to VA and filing my own taxes. He, legally, pays child support as well. Side note, one of my main concerns is whether he would have to contribute to the tuition as well because he did not do so for my older sister. He might for me though because it is so near to his home and he would get to see me but if that is true, I would like to get working on him now so that I know i will remain an IS applicant throughout.</p>
