My girlfriends parents couldn’t keep me away from my child or have more rights then me? Do I myself have control over my kid as the same of my girlfriend?

Parents have legal responsibility for their children and can set rules for their children under the age of 18. Parents can determine if a child can use a car, a cell phone, etc. Once a person reaches age 18, then the person can make their own decisions.

When I was 16 I got a failure to yield citation. Five months later, at 17 I was cited for the same thing again. What will happen?

14 yr old son was at school and another child 13yr pushed my son and spit in his face and my son reacted and punched him causing injuries, was sent home from school and has a meeting for expulsion, what could happen to my child?
answered on Feb 22, 2018
