Hi my son turned 16 a month ago but had been planing his move before that with the help of the so called guidance counselor at his school. He has decided that our home is “unsafe” for him and that he cannot live here anymore. I can assure you that this is not the case and he has a problem with rules, restrictions, consequences, doing his school work, being respectful and all the rest of the horrible things I’m sure every other parent does to their children. My question is now that he is 16 what rights do we have as his parents? I do not agree with him that the best place for him is living with his 18 year old gf and her family instead of with family. I would prefer he still be at home but I also cannot force him to do that.

The system is being manipulated by my son knowing exactly what to say and who to say it to so that he can do whatever he wants. I am hoping I just haven’t looked hard enough for a solution and that someone could point me in the right direction to find where my Legal rights have gone?? ... View more
