Power of attorney

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Kentucky

I currently live in KY with my 16 yr old son. My son wants to live with his 24 yr old sister in VA. Does his sister need a power of attorney for this? If so, from what state?

thanks

Most schools require more than a power of attorney to register child for school. Also, if she just has power of attorney and your child gets in any kind of trouble, suffers any abuse ect.... you will still be held responsible. Why on earth would you send a 16 year old to live with a 24 year old just because he wants to is beyond me but if your going to do it then she is going to need some sort of guardianship I believe. Wait for Senior members to post response as well.

School won't be an issue and the decision would be the lesser of two evils. It will get him away from some bad influences.

How is school not an issue? Also remember as I stated any trouble he gets into ie finds new bad influences where sister lives you are going to be responsible for.

My sources tell me that VA school systems are very stubborn about insisting that someone have actual custody of a child before they will allow them to be enrolled in school.

Therefore, unless you are prepared to give his sister custody, he may not be able to be enrolled in school. If school is not an issue, then a POA is perfectly sufficient.

Thanks for the response. POA documents available online ask for a state. Should it be the state I reside in or the state his sister resides in?
