Parent's aren't financially self-sufficient?

I have a difficult financial situation. My parents are recently separated and living in separate states. My father used to be the sole source of income for my family, but now he’s basically entirely out of the picture. I live with my mother, who moved in with her family. She’s unemployed and is supported almost entirely by her sister (bills, rent, etc.) for the time being. I’m trying to transfer to a school in that state (because I can’t afford to go to my old school anymore), and one of the requirements for in-state residency is my parent’s state and federal tax returns, showing that they live in the state and pay taxes. But since we are currently supported by other family members, how would that work for my residency? Thanks a ton for your help.
