Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

Re: 18yr old daughter denied enrollment to public shool

You haven't clarified the circumstances as to why your daughter is now residing in Raven, Virginia, after having, apparently, left your residence in West Virginia.

If she is there with relatives for some acceptable reason who are in a position to assume temporary guardianship, that's

one thing and should be acceptable to a court

for the purpose of approving temporary guardianship. However, if your daughter is there

merely for her own designs(perhaps, a runaway or whatever)and she has no persons in a position to whom the court could or would grant such guardianship, then that is quite another and she should in all likelihood return home forthwith.

And, no, it is not illegal for a school district to demand proof of bonified and legal residence of a student who wishes to attend school in that particular district and and to deny a prospective student the right to attend a particular school if that student does not meet the necessary residential and domicilliary criteria which are required for attendance at such school.
