What to do if I need a document that’s states a change in guardianship to my parents of my 17 year old daughter in order to not have to pay out of state tuition?
My daughter was born and raised most of her life in the state in which her grandparent’s live. However, she moved with me to another state a few years ago. She plans on staying in her former state of residence (where her grandparent’s live) permanently. I can’t afford out of state tuition which is double the normal tuition.

A guardianship document that you have written about will not change the status of your child for a reduced tuition for residing out of state. What needs to be done is for your minor child to establish residency in the state where she will be going to school to get a lower tuition rate. Usually a six (6) month period determines the pre-requisite of residence when one resides out of state to be a resident of that new state for possible reduced tuition rates.
