I apologize for the lack of information. As a stressed student, I didn’t think clearly enough to provide enough detail about my circumstances.
- This also will be my response to your question #3. Only my mother has residency in Virginia. She raised me until I was 12. After many familial disputes and conflicts, she surrendered her custody of me. My father has full custody, and I have not spoken to my mother since. He recently bought a house in California and we moved out here together to (originally) obtain residency after 1 year passes. Obviously, that isn't the case anymore but I hope this answers your question.
- This question confuses a bit since being in California would imply that I would be an OOS student. To clarify though, I applied to UC Davis last year while living in VA as a permanent resident, was accepted, and moved shortly after to CA in August. I later applied to VT in January, but I still live with my father in CA. It has been 6 months since our move.
- They never got married, had me when they were young and simply broke up.
I have a few comments regarding your other responses.
- For some reason my dad believes it would be beneficial if I handled the expenses on my own. Probably thinking it would be good to have the experience and learn from my mistakes because he also intends on providing additional money using the same bank account just for my own use (clothes, food, entertainment, etc).
- My bad, I was asking that question in a general sense since I had the notion that colleges don't give scholarships to OOS students. That was the case for the UC schools, at least. I suppose question #5 would also be based on question #1.
On a side note, wow thank you for the hasty responses! Again, I really appreciate it. @BelknapPoint @thumper1
