He’s a good kid and doesn’t deserve the crap life he’s been dealt. I live in NC and want to take care of him. If it’s kept very under wraps, could we get away with it? I’m scared if she doesn’t seriously hurt him, he will hurt himself.

Guardianship since 2012. . Grandma is not opposed. Say I just need to draft and file proper paperwork. I'm in Arkansas and not sure what to file

If the guardianship is here in Arkansas, and if you are a parent of the child, you would need to file a petition to terminate the guardianship. If you need assistance or have further questions, feel free to contact me.
Parents of his friends buy his hygiene n supply still receive cash for him but he is hopeless this can't be right

His status as an adopted child is irrelevant to any part of your question. The impediment to his legal right to sue is his age. He will need a guardian ad litem to sue on his behalf. That being said, it is completely unclear what it is you think would be the basis for a lawsuit.

Can the parents do something in response such as filing a sort of report and getting the child in trouble or sent to court as unruly?
answered on Oct 16, 2019

I’m 17 my boyfriend is also 17, we turn 18 pretty soon. His probation officer told him were not to have any contact but never filed a no contact order or anything of the sort. Would I be able to see him after we turn 18?
answered on Oct 14, 2019
Wait until he is off probation. It has more to do with his probation than age. Even when he turns 18 if there is a probation order in effect he can get in trouble.

The answer is no it is not okay. If this continues, you can go to the Department of Social Services and file for PINS Diversion.

answered on Oct 9, 2019
Depends on the statute of limitations and how much time has passed
answered on Oct 8, 2019
It depends upon the context. Is it a criminal investigation or testimony (or witness interview) in a criminal case?

You can drop out, but if you don't complete your education, then you will be unable to earn a decent living and even with government assistance, will likely live in poverty with your son. Talk to a family member, school counselor, teacher, or other trusted adult about your situation.
