<p>Hmmm are you talking about health insurance? Perhaps the recent changes in the health care legislation will make this different in the future…but here’s what it is for me…right now. If my kids are NOT dependents (for tax purposes), they cannot be carried on my health insurance. WHEN the new health care initiatives go into effect, I WILL be able to carry them on my health insurance BUT they MUST RESIDE in the same state in which <em>I</em> reside.</p>
<p>So…you need to check…is your college in another state? If so, your dad might be correct even WITH the new health initiatives.</p>
<p>You would also need to check car insurance…that varies by the insurance vendor. Ours will let us keep our kids on our insurance driving cars in OUR name…but it will not allow us to insure them if they live elsewhere and register and own the cars in their OWN names.</p>
