My sons father is telling him since he will not graduate this year (even though he will be 18) he will not be able to move back to Florida with the mother.
answered on Feb 13, 2018
18 is the age of majority in most states, including Florida. As an adult he can live with whichever parent will have him, and the other parent cannot object.
