What residency rules apply to minors?
For an unmarried minor (under age 18), the residence of the parent with whom you live is considered to be your residence. If you have a parent living, you cannot change your residence by your own act, by the appointment of a legal guardian, or by the relinquishment of your parent’s right of control. If you live with neither parent, your residence is that of the parent with whom you last lived. If you derive California residence from a parent, that parent must satisfy the one-year duration residence requirement. For more details, see the Minors section.
