How to remove a minor from your home?
Your parents can go to a juvenile court judge with the child and tell the judge that the child is out-of-control, unruly, dishonest, disobedient, and an alcohol/drug-user who refuses to obey their lawful authority and is now in need of court supervision. The juvenile court system can take custody of the child...your parents will have to pay child support...and after assessing him, they will do one of three things with him: put in him foster care, put him in a group home, or place him in juvenile detention. The latter will make him a very unhappy boy but it sounds like he deserves it. If it had been my kid though, I would have sold the house and put him in a Arizona/Texas boot-camp until he turned 18. Those places are nasty but they do work. Good luck and God bless. ***** Addendum: Until the juvenile system takes custody of your sibling, your parents cannot abandon him and if they do, they can be charged (they can however send him to a "correctional facility" (boot/wilderness camp, military school) and if they do send him to a relative, they are totally financially responsible for any and all of his damage.
Is there a way to find out child's email password?
No. I'm not a bad parent. If you knew the details, you would not think that. I'm a good parent who doesn't want trouble for the child. It WOULD be a last resort. I never snoop on anyone. But this is my child who I need to protect. I'm just trying to find out the options for a parent. It's because I care. Like I said, I'm not a snooper, but something of concern is going on and I'm trying to figure out how to prevent something more before it gets really too far gone.
How do I get rid of my foster child?
my husband and I took in a foster child last year. she was such a sweet girl but I decided I no longer want kids because of many reasons. It is kind of annoying because she constantly wants attention from me. I just do not want this child around my house or near me anymore.she can go bother another family. my head explodes when she constantly needs attention from me. How do I return the foster child? Do I need the paper work and just return her with the paperwork? Do I have to go through another process or just tell them? I'll nicely explain to her that its not because she is a bad girl but because we are moving or something
Can a custodial parent cash a check made out to their minor child?
"Can a custodial parent cash a check made out to their minor child? The quick answer to your question is "Yes." But it's too bad you didn't ask the question before you acted on it.... You have the power to act on your minor daughter's behalf in financial matters that she herself does not have to power to contract. However, that doesn't make the money "yours." Money that belongs to a minor is still the minor's even where a parent uses that money on behalf of the minor. If you take your daughter's money from her, then you have made a gift of the money to yourself-- and if you are bound in any sort of fiduciary relationship to her, that might be both unethical and illegal but only in a civil action. It's not a criminal violation, and you should have told her father and Mr. Allen to buzz off. Who paid the money up front? Because that's really who the money should have been returned to when the refund was issued. Call your local State's Attorney or Assistant District Attorney and ask how to file a criminal complaint for extortion. (It's ultimately the state that must prosecute the alleged offenders.) But keep in mind they are going to want to see some evidence to back you story. You should also seek an attorney to file a civil case for fraud and whatever else the attorney can come up with to get your car returned to you and to punish those bullies. [This is not legal advice. You should consult a licensed attorney-at-law for legal advice or representation before making decisions that may affect your legal rights.]
Is it illegal/unfair for a parent to take away their child's belongings that the child had bought? What is your opinion?
It’s a crime to take away someone’s properties without consent. If you bought them yourself, they are yours and your parents have no right to take them. On the other hand, if you bought them with money your parents gave you, they aren’t yours. I have a job, so when I buy things for myself, they are 100% mine because I have a legitimate job and earned the money myself.If you get, let’s say 20 USD a week just to save for something, or to buy a weekly treat at the end of the week or something, that money still isn’t yours. Even if you did clean your room for it, or took out the trash, that money is still not yours. Cleaning your room and taking out the trash is normal things people are supposed to be doing when they live somewhere, some parents just decided to reward their children because then they won’t rush to finish the job, but actually, do it properly.As long are you’re under 18-years-old and you don’t buy things with money you’ve earned from a real part-time or full-time job, the money isn’t yours and your parents have all rights to take away whatever you bought with it. If you’re over 18-years-old, and your parents give you money, that money is now yours. When we are children parents own everything we own, because we can’t give consent, sometimes we make bad decisions and we don’t always know when to stop playing a game etc. When we turn 18 y/o, were considered an adult and we also automatically own everything we’ve been given. You wouldn’t confiscate your friend's phone if they bought it with money you gave them for their birthday, right? Well, you can’t do that to your child after they turn 18 y/o either because they are their own person now and are capable of making own rules.But, we need to think as our parents as our guardians. If you did buy a phone with your own money, but you can’t control how much time you spend on it and you don’t sleep enough or forget doing your homework because of it, they have all rights to take it away, because they are supposed to do so. their job as a parent is to stop you from hurting yourself and developing bad habits. If you’re over 18 y/o and live at your parent's house, I’m sorry, but you have to follow their rules. If you don’t want to you can move out.
My dog scratched my child with it's tooth on accident while playing. My parents said to get rid of the dog as it is aggressive. What should I do?
Minor scratches, bumps, bruises and sometimes worse happen as children are growing up. Sometimes these happen when they fall off a swing or a bike, or while playing with friends. Sometimes playing a bit rough with a family pet will result in a minor injury. These are just normal events while growing up.If you know the injury was an accident and not the result of an overly aggressive animal, then getting rid of the pet is definitely the wrong course of action. For one thing, this eliminates the opportunity for your child to learn from the encounter. Children need to learn how to treat animals with care and respect. A little nip or scratch can help to establish those boundaries.Second, getting rid of a beloved pet, which your child obviously cares about and plays with will cause far more psychological damage than the scratch ever will.Last, there are far too many abandoned and unwanted pets in shelters today. This is only contributing to the problem, and it’s teaching your child that it’s OK to deal with a relatively minor problem in a rather extreme and irresponsible way.I would strongly advise that you keep the pet, use this as a teaching opportunity for your child, supervise the child and pet more closely next time and to make sure a nosy in-law doesn’t try to dispose of the pet without your permission. I’ve known in-laws/parents who will cross a line and interfere in the affairs of their adult son or daughter.
What's the best way to avoid paying child support for a daughter I'm 100% sure is mine, if I'm already married with 3 kids?
There are various ways to avoid paying child support. Under US law, child-support goes to the mother, not to the child. No child is legally entitled to child-support money — neither as a child nor as an adult. The parent receiving child-support is LEGALLY entitled to spend child-support money on gambling, drugs, alcohol, prostitution, or anything else.Child-support payments are based on the incomes of the parents, not on the needs of the child. Also, the number of children makes a difference. The court can take, at best, two-thirds of your post-tax income. But it cannot take that much if you are supporting more than one child. You must support ALL of your children PLUS have enough money to survive, yourself.So, if you can show that, based on your income and child-support guidelines, you cannot pay as much as ordered, the court is legally bound to reduce the amount you pay. I have seen the amount go as low as $15 every two weeks. Of course, this is when a woman is ordered to pay child-support and the legal system favours women so your amount may not go that low. But it could be lower than what you are now paying.You can also fight for joint custody. Parents who have joint custody do not pay each other child support. If you file for sole custody and win then she must you child support. One way to win sole custody is to prove that the mother is not a good parent.You can try to prove that the mother is an unfit parent. This is frequently true. And if you can prove it then you will no longer pay the mother child-support. In fact, the child will be taken from her.
Can I get rid of my last name?
Yep, I've heard of problems not having last name but Smith was one of the names I had before and I obviously don't want to belong to that family. I don't have middle name and my first name is foreign as well as maiden name and most of people can't even pronounce these names. So that's why I don't want my maiden name back. I guess I should just have some last name people can pronounce.
Advice on babysitter - she is spanking my three year old for minor reasons?
You are not wrong. Tell her to stop spanking your son. Just because she is a good family friend doesn't give her the right to do that. Is she licensed by the state? If so I don't think guidelines allow her to spank. Of course it could differ by state. but I babysat one child, and was not licensed. But the mother qualified for a state agency to pay me. And by their standards I couldn't spank. I wouldn't anyway. But you need to tell her that your son needs the rules to be the same if he's with you or her, or any caregiver. And that's what you pay her for too. To take care of your son as you see fit and to go by your expectations, not to just do as she pleases with kids that aren't hers. You make the rules for your children, no matter where they are. It's confusing for him and not healthy to have the rules changed on him like that. You know as well as I do that kids need that consistency. And if she can't handle taking the time to put him in time out rather than a "quick fix" spanking, then get a different babysitter. Also, I don't even think what your son did warranted a time out. A talking to yes, but maybe that kid was mean to him when he said he didn't want to be his friend. Sure it wasn't nice, but maybe he had a good reason. And taking the cups. If he didn't snatch them out of the other child's hands, then he just should have been told that next time he should ask if he can share the toy.
