I currently live in Florida and have 1 year and 4 months left of community college. I want to move back to Mass. and plan to once I graduate from school.
I want to know if I would get in trouble if next January I drive up there and change my license, car insurance, cell phone, post office address, and all other needed documentation to form residency in Massachusetts while living in Florida for an additional 4-5 months???
I then plan to drive back down to Florida to finish my last semester of school and then move back to Massachusetts for good.
It takes 1 year to become a resident of Mass. and I figure if I do this in January of 2010. Graduate in May. In the meantime get a job or internship from July to December as I wait for January.
I'll be a considered a resident in January of 2011 and that would be just time for the spring semester. I want to finish school, but do not want to have to pay the out of state tuition.
Oh yeah and also do you think the school that I transfer to will question me about how did I complete my degree in Florida and claim myself a Massachusetts residence???
All informative answers will be greatly appreciated. I'm a planner so I have to plan this all now.
Is it illegal to live in Florida and try to form residency in Massachusetts?
Oh Please! We have enough trouble here now without people pulling **** like this! Jeez.
Schools require documentation - they will find out eventually and you will be billed accordingly.

That wouldn't work. Massachussets will probably require proof of employment. You'd have to pay Massachussets taxes. They will know you were going to school while establishing residency.
