Q: How do I go about making my incorrigible, unruly 15-year old, biological son a ward of the court in Gwinnett County?
He already attends alternative high school and has probation in another county.
A: You may consider filing a Petition to declare the child a delinquent. Talk to a competent attorney, many will charge a fee for a consult. But it is certainly worth it to have direction and options even if you don't retain the attorney.

A: I agree with my colleague, you should sit down and discuss this with an attorney who can review the case in detail and help you plan the proper course of action. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558 HomerJordan.com
