Re: Please help my daughter
Short answer no She is also not going to be emancepated either. She must be 100% self supporting she is not! She would also need parental consent which she wont get either. Since you signed yourself out of her life (in a manner of speaking) you have no real voice in this either. Sorry but she is not endangered nor does she qualify for emancepation which I believe she must be at least 17 for!
Re: Please help my daughter
Florida requires "A statement of the minor's character, habits, education, income, and mental capacity for business, and an explanation of how the needs of the minor with respect to food, shelter, clothing, medical care, and other necessities will be met." Normally that will mean that the minor is self-supporting, but the statute would encompass a broader range of options if the judge was reasonably certain that the minor's needs would be met through the normal age of majority. It's available to minors aged 16 or older.
But nonetheless, Florida requires that the emancipation process be initiated by the minor's parents or legal guardian.
Re: Please help my daughter
Thank you anyway. We'll just have to hope that they leave her in peace here at her granny's house until she is older. Another question, Even though I signed my parental rights away, at some point could she "divorce" her stepmom if she chooses, and then have me put back on her birth certificate (even if it's after she is 18)? I had heard something about it, but was not sure if it was legit or not
Re: Please help my daughter
I would suspect that would require step Mother's consent which isnt likely. The case ( I have only heard of one) in which a child divroced its parents did not meet same situation you have here. Your biggest problem is you signed yourself off as a parent.
