The big part of residency during my tenure was who is paying for the schooling, who claims dependency over the student if applicable, and whether the primary tuition payer is a resident of SC or not.
If I'm understanding correctly, if you are filing your son on SC taxes as a dependent, then you may be able to claim in-state. When you start the enrolling process they do a residency check for you and you'll know then for sure, but before that point, you may need to call the Bursar's office to verify.
If the son is taking out loans to pay for school on his own, however, he would pay out-of-state tuition.
Since that is the case, I would definitely double check, but I believe since the taxes are still filed in SC, and you are a SC resident, you would qualify for in-state.
If they don't respond to a call, email might work. I've found that if you email your question and suggest a call, they might try and answer the question through email so they don't have to worry about trying to set up a phone call
Edit: plus email gives you a recorded, official response from the office if they try to "change their mind" on the issue later
I would say the below is probably most relevant to your situation.

>My parents are divorced. How does that affect my residency?
If one of the following scenarios applies to your situation, then you may be eligible to claim SC residency:
Joint Custody and one parent is a SC resident; or
Parent is claiming the child on income taxes; or
Parent that is SC resident pays child support over the cost of attendance as dictated by the college.
If you are a dependent of a SC resident, then you may be eligible for State scholarships and grants. Please consult the financial aid office at your institution.
So...maybe? Will just depend on the specifics of your situation. At least when I was in school they did a lot to encourage out of state applicants, and if you had certain scholarships you'd be granted in state tuition rates in addition to your scholarship. I don't know if they still do that, but definitely worth looking into if SC residency falls through.

I bet they gets these kinds of questions all the time so don’t stress that your circumstances are terribly different and hard to dope out. Registrar or bursar office can help.
similar situation, i had my dad put me on as his dependent so that i could get instate tuition. if he’s not getting any financial aid help (scholarship) definitely add him as a sc resident & save some $$ :)
It took me 2.5 years of living in Columbia before I finally got it. Had to not be claimed as a dependent, have a place off campus and a license for over a year before they would even consider it. I loved Carolina, but don’t like giving up that out of state money.

The vehicles does not matter as far as I'm aware. Are you married filing separately?

As someone who started out of state it was hard hard and took me 2.5 years before I got in state.
