Hello everyone,
I am 23 years old, and would like to find some information about how I can go about divorcing one of my parents. I have been living away from both my parents for over 3 years, and do not have any contact with the parent I would like to divorce.
Basically, I would just like to be able to get some kind of legal document stating that the parent is no longer 'the parent.'
Thank you very much for any help you can offer.
There is no such thing as "divorce" from a parent, despite what is occasionally depicted in the movies. You were emancipated from them as a matter of law when you became an adult.
Oh, well that just sucks. What I wanted is to legally get rid of the term 'father,' so that he could no longer be legally considered my father....but I guess that's not possible.
Thank you for your reply.
Probably not. You may wish to check with a lawyer in your province "just in case" - sometimes a jurisdiction will have an unusual law or remedy applying to a matter that, in most of the world, you would otherwise have to live with.
okay, your 23 years old for gods sake, you have your own life, you don't need to "divorce" your parents. You are legal. You don't have to ever see mommy or daddy dearest ever again if you don't want to, if you are searching for money its a different sorry
I was wondering about my situation:
My parents have been separated for 2 years, and are still working on dividing there assets. My dad pays my mom child support for me (until I'm done school) and my sister (my mom has full custody) and also pays her alimony. I am going into my second year of university and really need money that my mom is giving me (out of the child support) and my dad wants to be able to put the money into my account and bypass my mom. In order to do that he wants me to tel the court I want to "reside" with him so he has custody of me, which means he won't have to pay my mom money, but I don't want any part of they're fights. I was wondering if I stop living with either of them for a full year (I would stay at my house near the university) would I be considered emancipated? And also would my dad still have to pay child support to my mom for me, because I will still be a student?
