I live in Minnesota. I have full physical custody of my 2 girls and of my ex-wife's son. She signed them all over to me and I made it legal through the court system.
To be absolutely honest the only reason I accepted guardianship of the boy is that I fealt sorry for him. He's 17 now, failing school, no job, no license, in trouble with the law and a major disruption in our lives.
Morally I guess I'm supposed to stand by the kid but when he's telling me to "F" off and shut up I want to toss him out on the street. I'm not weak - I have rules and he receives consequences (hence no license at age 17 because he's failing school). He flat out does not care and everybody else is stupid. My daughters are as well adjusted as they can be with his disruptions in all of our lives.
Can I rescind my guardianship with the courts? Can I just drop him off at his biological mother's home and say "see ya - I'm not dealing with you anymore"? Am I stuck until his 18th birthday?
Minnesota's age of majority is 18 years of age. At that point can I tell the kid he's on his own and not welcome in my house?
