@etrtca How your dependent's car is titled and/or insured has no bearing on whether you can claim your child as a dependent. Your issue regarding car insurance is not a tax question. And even if your child lives in another state, living away from home for school is considered to be a "temporary absence" so you still say on your tax return that the child lived with you when you claim the child as a dependent.
IRS interview to help determine who can be claimed:
