Q: I have a 15 year old grandson who at 14 was kicked out of school for the year. After this he has spiraled out of control
Moved into a house with a 13 year old and has had a baby with her. His mother is a flake and has done nothing about it. DCS was called on them and he was ordered not to live there but to be at home. The problem being his mother is never there. My question is how do I go about getting him out of the girls home now because he feels he has to take care of his "family". He was a straight A student before getting kicked out but now he doesn't do any of his homeschooling and I can't do anything about that because we are so far away from each other. I feel as if he is experiencing that Stockholm syndrome. He has lowered his standards to be with this girl. Can you help me?
A: You can file a petition for custody of him. You should consult a lawyer who can review all of the facts and advise you regarding your options.
