I am 18 years old and living at home with my divorced mother, who claims me as her dependent. I plan to move in with my father by the end of this year (2018). I receive financial aid from my college and am currently looking for a job. I want to know if I can claim myself and become independent once I move out of my mother's? If I move in with my father, will he have to claim me as his dependent? Is claiming myself and becoming independent as wise financial decision under my circumstances?
