<p>Hey I actually have dealt with a bunch of stuff in this department because my sister goes to UCLA and I just got into UCSD. </p>
<p>Im sorry but that actually would not qualify you for in state tuition. My dad lived in California and my sister was living with my mom in a different state and that didnt help her at all. Long story short they are pretty strict with residency here and you need a number of things including physical presence in california for 366+ days as well as things like a drivers license to prove you really want to make California your home. Im sorry but good luck on your decision making!</p>
