Other Options Besides Emancipation
My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Florida
okay so my girlfriend is 17 and will be 18 in February. her mother and father are divorced, both of them are retired air force. her dad recently quit his job, and her mom lost hers because she got a DUI. they have joint custody, with the mom having primary custody. both her parents are alcoholics and don't care about her, they don't buy food for her, or any kind of clothes of hygiene products, i provide most of them myself for her. they wouldn't even by her school supplies this year for school. her dad is getting ready to move to Jacksonville to live with his girlfriends mom because he cant afford to stay here. i am pretty sure she doesn't qualify for emancipation, but is there any way i can get or my mom can get custody of her until she is 18? i am 21 right now. i make 32k a year and my mom makes more than that. i have tired getting her mom to give up custody but she wont, she would rather her suffer and have to live in very poor conditions. so do i have any route i can take to get her out of there legally? her mother has told us if i just take her she would call the cops on kidnapping. does Florida wavier on the what they view as a minor, since its less than 6 months to her birthday? any help would be great. thank you.
Re: Other Options Besides Emancipation
Not a single chance. She stays put until she's 18.
The court will not remove her from her parents unless there is clear evidence of abuse or neglect, and even then she'll be placed in foster care - not with you or your mother.
