Can a 14 yr old kid also say no to going back to the place where the leaving conditions are bad, also can a 14 yr old kid get put in jail for running away.
answered on Sep 29, 2020
Yes you can get in trouble for running away. Call DHR and file a report and they will investigate. If there are terrible living conditions they will remove the child and put them with the neatest suitable relative or foster care if there are no suitable relatives.
& can a 15 year old choose to live with a close relative that they grew up with that basically raised them , because they feel that they are being mistreated ?

You need to provide more information before we attempt an answer. Such as, what is the Order for? When was it filed? Were you served? Is it a modification or original divorce? Please provide more information. Thank you.
And verbally abuse me. I did a protection order but he held me hostage so I couldn’t go he also threaten me If I go back that he will hurt me and take our child. How can I collect child support and not let him be around my child? He sell drugs and is not a stable person.

Please contact 2nd chance and they will help you get away from him.
Also contact DHR who will go after child support without giving any visits. Good luck to you.
Can he keep my daughter at his house even though i have the paper stating they were placed back with me?

The order should tell you. If you don’t have a copy of it, you can go to the juvenile section of the clerks office and they will provide it to you.
If it says you have custody then you are correct, your daughter has to come home to you.

He does not have the right to bother you during your pregnancy. Contact him one last time and tell him if he bothers you again you will have him arrested. And then stop all contact. If he bothers you again call the police and have him arrested. When you go to the hospital and have the baby, do not... View More

Hello. Yes, other people are feeding, housing, and clothing your children. You are still financially responsible and they can obtain child support from you and the father.

Get to a lawyer immediately and get temp custody so he won’t have to go. With that kind of thing going on in her life, you will get it.

No. This is the question I get asked the most because everyone thinks there is. They are allowed to testify in a court proceeding to tell the judge their desired wishes, but it is ultimately up to the judge and the best interest of the child.

If she’s 18 she can live where she wants to. They can’t charge her and no court is going to make her go home if she doesn’t want to.
