What is the name of your state? Hawaii
Here is my situation, my girlfriend and I are the tenants on our lease. My girlfriend is divorced and she has a 16 year old daughter who is currently living with us. Legally the father has custody of the daughter but he allowed the daughter to stay with us for a while. Let me add that it has been a nightmare since the daughter has been living with us. She has been arrested 3 times in the 5 months living here and has been skipping school and is currently failing every single class. She does not listen to the mother much less me and is basically a street punk.
What I am wondering is that now that I don't want the daughter staying with us anymore, what legal rights does the daughter have to continue living here? Can I legally have the daughter removed if she refuses to go? The mother is currently ambivalent about the whole issue and is basically fence sitting so it is up to me to take some action. Is there anything I can do?
