Does Florida law require that we continue to house and support our son after he turns 18 if he is still in high school? He dropped out because he refused to attend about two weeks ago. Now he may or may not go to Adult Ed to finish out his high school diploma.
This child has been horrible to live with. He stole $400 from our bank account, stole both of our cars on numerous occasions, went to in-patient care for marijuana use, actually brought pot into our home, barracaded himself in his room so that we couldn't get in to get him up for school multiple times, faked illness on innumerable occasions, put holes in his bedroom wall, destroyed his door frame, curses, is mentally abusive and just plain uncontrollable. I threaten to take his Xbox and he threatens to hit me. I can't take this anymore. I feel like a prisoner in my own home.
So, please tell me if I have to keep him under our roof when he turns 18 if he isn't attending adult education classes and purusing his high school degree.
PS: He's only half way through 10th grade now.
