Frustrated

[NOTJOESPARENT]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Minnesota
We have a 17 year old daughter with a 17 year old boyfriend that has been staying with us for a while. (a few months now). He was evicted from his father's apartment building due to a one-time incident causing damage to the building. We have asked him and his father for rent money to help cover food, utilities, etc.. We have not received any money from either of them.(the 17 year old also does not have a license or a job yet). I feel it is an obligation of his father to provide something to us. What steps can we do legally?

thank you

Legally you can send this kid back to his parents. You chose to make this your problem, you can choose to relieve yourself of the frustration by sending him back to his parents.

Tell him to find work and start paying rent & Board or he'll have to find other housing. He will 18 soon enough .He needs to learn responsibility .

I also agree , the parents are still responsible. If he can't return to where they live ,then the parents should move to accommodate caring for their child .

Right now ,you basically volunteered to care for him .

You make the choice .
