allow that children of DoD civilians overseas get residency status for in-state college tuition based on either parent.

Children graduating from DoDEA schools overseas, are not all from active duty families. In many cases, they are the children of DoD employees. There is no statute that describes the scenario in which a DoD dependent child is allowed in-state tuition, based on residency of a DoD parent, unless that parent is Active Duty. In many cases, the child would like to choose the spouse's state; however all of the state institutions seem to ignore the spouse, and focus only on the member. We need a law in place that protects the rights of the dependent child graduating from a DoDEA school overseas, whether that child belongs to an active duty parent, or a DoD Civilian parent. The child should be allowed to choose the residency of either parent in the case where both parents are overseas.
