My sisters children would come from another state for holidays and vacation to stay at my home. In mid June they came to visit and went to camp from my home. We decided they would stay for the next year. BUT I think we went back to gather their clothing from their home state. I can’t remember if it were before or after July 1st(I use this as the half way mark for the year ) . Since it wasn’t formal would the move in date be when they actually arrived and I was responsible for them (despite leaving for camp for a few days ) OR the day their mother agreed that they could live with me for the next year ? Also why IF they lived with me for 5months and 25 days but their mom forfeited her claiming them .. could I? Also IF that were the number could their previous visits in the beginning of the year count as living since they stayed in my home or NO since it was vacation ?
