A: There's a lot of information needed here to be able to properly answer. The documents from the divorce would need to be reviewed to see exactly what they say about who gets to own the house and who gets to live the house. If your mom is supposed to live it, then your dad would need to leave.

In Florida there is no child support for a child after the age of 18. If both you and your brother are disabled, then you and him (through a guardian) can seek child support from your dad. This is also something an attorney or a Legal Aid organization can help with.

This question was posted in a Florida group but it says your location is in the State of Georgia. You'll need to look for attorneys in Georgia to help because some of the information may be different.

Good luck!
