What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
My 17 year old daughter wishes to live with her dad and step mom(not what I want, but she's making it very hard) My ex and I have been divorced 10 years and have joint physical and legal custody. We also have a 12 year old son. I'm remarried and we have a 5 year old son. She appears to be misirable here and is making everyone in the house misirable as well. I'm considering letting go live with them, she will be 18 in May and will graduate HS in May as well. I want to know can I ask for emancipation. Her father will seek child support. He used to pay me child support until our agreed entry from 2007. He pays all expenses instead of paying any support. Now he's telling my daughter and myself that I'm "legally" obligated to pay 1/3 of our daughter's college expenses. There is nothing in our divorce papers about college except it will be worked out at a later date. I've been advised that's not the case but he's very adiment that his attorney has advised him this is true..
thanks, very sad mom
