Moving out at 17 with a child, in New Hampshire?
I live in New Hampshire... I'm pretty sure you're only allowed to move out of your guardians home once you're 18 unless you get emancipated, as the person above mentioned. You'd have to take your stepfather to court and you'd have to prove to the Judge that you have a steady job so you can definitely support your child, and if you move in with the father he'll probably have to go and prove that he also has a steady job and home to support the child. It's a really big hassle and it would be months before your case would even make it into Court. I moved out of my mom's and into my boyfriend's family's house when I was 16, but I had my mother's permission. I still had to go to school where my mom lived, though, and that was tough. I thought about either getting emancipated or having my boyfriend's mother adopt me so I could go to school with my boyfriend in the town I was living in, but I decided to just wait until my birthday. I turned 18 before my case ever would've gone to Court. It would've taken a year! It may be best and easiest to just wait it out and try and make the best out of the situation. Time goes by too fast and before you know it you'll be 18 and able to leave your stepfather's. But if you and your child are living in an abusive home (and even arguing between your stepfather and his wife could be considered abuse to you and your child) I would definitely think about taking this to Court. If it's a desperate situation you may get a Court case fairly quickly and could become emancipated. Hope I could help! Feel free to email me if you need anyone to talk to. * Ok, PLEASE, don't pay any attention to the woman below. That is awful information. First of all, she said herself that she doesn't know about New Hampshire. But then she says "All the police will do is talk to you and say your parents would like you to come home. But they cant make you." Those may be the laws over in Michigan, but they're not the same at all here in New Hampshire. It's true, they can't make you go home - but if the teen chooses to not go home they will be put into juvenile hall or jail until they either choose to go back with their parents or turn 18. You can contact your local police and find out for yourself, but don't take xxmilitarychikxx's information. That's not the way things are in New Hampshire. And the last thing you need is to get a arrested and be in jail when you have a child to take care of.
When should a child move out of their parents’ house?
By answering this question I’m gonna assume your between the age of 18–25?I believe there is stigma in America for moving out at 18. False.You should move out of your parents house when you feel ready to move out.But that’s the tough part.When you feel ready doesn’t mean waiting till 36 and feeling like now is the good time. Feeling ready is when you have some-what of a stable income and can provide for yourself (for the most part).Moving out when you feel ready does not mean leaving when you have a long period of feeling comfortable. I suggest leaving home the moment before you begin getting too comfortable.I personally believe the sooner you can financially leave the better for two particular reasons:You’ll learn to become more independent.You’ll taste the real-world and be consumed by daily challenges.My kids technically moved out at age 17/18 for college, but they moved back in after school and stayed still they were between 22 to 26 (I have 5 kids).My husband and I didn’t put any pressure on them, but we made sure they found a job, and started saving some sort of income so that when they were ready to move on, they’d be able to.BUT…If your not going to college and simply want to “grind” and work 24/7, you get a long with your parents, and you don’t feel restricted living at home, then by all means, stay at home till when ever.You’ll save a TON of money that you could be spending on more important things, like your first house!Once you have a sufficient amount of income saved, rent an apartment. This could be at age 23 or even 27. It all depends on the situation.
What would you do if you found out your child was the product of cheating?
No idea why you would ask *ME* to answer this question since I’m a 60-something gay man married to another man and the only “children” we’ve ever had were dogs. But hey, why not!I think the first thing to know is, I don’t believe in monogamy. Most people, at best, seem to be able to practice “serial monogamy” where they are with one person only, until they are with someone else. Lather, rinse, repeat. My relationships started out monogamous, until my current spouse and me figured out that it was better to be open and honest instead of cheating and sneaking. It’s worked for going on 27 years.But— having fun and making a baby are two different things. One is over quickly and forgotten probably even faster, the other is going to be around at least 18 years if things go as they should. If you had the fun and nothing comes of it, that affects me very differently than bringing a child I didn’t father into the home we share.So the question was what would *I* do? I’d have a long talk the mother and see where things were heading. If we are staying together, and the father was a fling, I’m probably going to raise and love that kid like it was from my own seed. I don’t have a big thing about “passing on my heredity” or whatever.I was married to a woman for many years, and no child came of it. Now I’m older and married to a man, and no child will come of that either. Biggie Dog is our current child and owns my heart. He was a rescue we got as a senior. I feel about kids about the same way I feel about adopting dogs from shelters. They are abandoned and need a home. I have one to offer and love to give them. You think I’m going to push away a baby human just because it doesn’t have my genes? No.
How do I convince my mom to let the father of my child spend the night?
The father of my child and I used to live together, due to unfortunate circumstances, I moved back in with my mom at the beginning of my pregnancy. Just gave birth to our precious baby girl last week and the father of my chld wants to be able to spend as much time with her as possible. Our relationship is on & off and I don’t like update my mom on our relationship status because she’s so judgmental. I know this is her house and all but why should he be restricted on how much time or how long he spends with his child. I would need his help, especially with our crying baby all night. I told my mom that I wouldn’t have sex in her home so I know that’s not an issue. I just can’t stand when it’s been 2 or 3 hours and she asks how long is going to be here and refuses to let him spend the night
How do people get out of paying child support in the US?
The legal way is by having their parental rights terminated in court. There's no child support, but there's also no contact whatsoever between the parent and the child, and the parent no longer gets any say in how the child is brought up. The illegal way is to have an off-the-books under-the-table job wherein taxes are not withheld and, likewise, no child support can be garnished. But while it gets you out of your child support obligations, it also means you are at the mercy of an employer who can work you like a dog any hours he pleases, and has proven himself to be just crooked enough that it isn't out of the realm of possibility. If anyone asked, my advice would be to suck it up and pay the child support.
Could I avoid paying child support by moving to Canada?
I was ordered by a court to pay 300 dollars a month to my ex. This is when I was working two jobs, however I recently quit one of my jobs because I didn't like the new supervisor. I have rent, car lease, food, clothes, etc that I have to pay for every month so I'm looking for ways to free myself from the financial burden of having to pay child support. Thank you in advance for all advice.
What should you do if you find your husband is gay?
This happened to my sister-in-law. My brother told her he thought he was Gay. She felt betrayed but she already knew the marriage was doomed. They both were very young when they married and my brother thought he could “play it straight.” He didn’t like the thought of being Gay, but since he couldn't deny it forever he finally told her. And wrongly he thought since they had 2 kids she would stay but she did not. He tried dating a few more woman after that but finally gave in. I am so happy he did, he is so much happier now. After a few years of being divorced he received custody of the 2 kids. She moved over 6 hours away from her own kids..so who is worse? Him for being Gay, (which sadly a lot of people would say yes to that) or her for leaving her children while moving 6 hours away with her two younger children. Her first two children were 10 & 12 when she moved away. They still love their mother but they don’t respect her.So if this has happened to you I am sorry..but some people try to hard to deny their feeling hoping to not upset the family etc. But since people are BORN that way and not “MADE to be GAY” they usually cannot deny their feeling all their life or they end up crabby, sad…move on, stay friends and yes my brother and his wife still love each other. You can see that when they are together, even though he has a partner and she married again. They get all giddy around each other..and yes its slightly sad…but they have stayed friends to benefit the children. If you don’t have children then this may be easier to work out..but I would say you are more than likely headed for divorce..I am sorry. But there is life after…
