I Want My Kid Out of My Life

[Katel]

Thank you Aaron. and LawResearcherMissy thank you for the information, however, as far as my attitude toward the people whom I THOUGHT were here to answer legal questions, I did not ask the initial question to be bombarded with a physiological profile of myself or my son and as you can see....that's what I got, right out of the box.
My second post states that I do understand that people are falling out of their chairs, thinking that I hate the son that I gave birth to and raised for 14 years, I too would be responding with posts of suggestions to help the family (If that's what the poster ASKED FOR) but sometimes you've just got to walk in someone else's shoes before you can pass judgment.

That means you owe her support... which is the real reason for all this, isn't it. You don't want to have to pay daddy his due anymore, do you?

Ahhh, no, I don't OWE her anything! I didn't ASK her to take him! I voluntarily send a check every month because it's the right thing to do.

Secondly, I have never had to pay the deadbeat dad because he is over $40.000. 00 in arrears to ME!

You are oh so very angry that the only reason that you've responded to my post(s) is because you're looking for an argument. I didn't post anything directed at you to be disrespectful, mean spirited or hateful but after reading your previous responses to other people's posts on different threads, I see that you are ALWAYS angry and looking for someone to lash out against.

This is a public forum. When you encounter people you don't like in a public forum, your best bet is to ignore them.

My question involves guardianship in the State of: Florida

My 16 year old went to live with his dad (to whom I was never married). No legal custody agreement was ever arranged as my son had lived with me his entire life. The dad then filed for child support, which in the eyes of the law, seems to automatically make the dad his legal guardian. NOW, the dad has gone to jail, for approximately one year and my son resides with my sister. Can I have this ungrateful little brat emancipated without the consent of the father? I do not know if he'll oppose it or not.

You should get a consult with an attorney to find out what the realistic chances are for emancipation. You can get a low cost consult by calling the FL Bar Lawyer Refferal Service at 1-800-342-8011.

I'm not going to go into my personal fellings about your calling your child an "ungrateful little brat", other than to say it is waay more than disturbing.
The legal end of that though is something you'll need to discuss with an attorney. Your child is still a minor, and you, as the parent have the legal responsibilty to take care of your child, financially AND emotionally. An attorney will almost certainly explain to you that your attitude is definately bordering on emotional abuse/neglect. So, you really should get a consult BEFORE you do anything else.
