Father's Issues / 18 and not emancipated
Feb 08, 2008, 05:22:45 PM
Wondering if anyone would know if there is anything I can do about
this situation:

Finally, after 4 years of fighting and thousands of dollars on lawyers
for custody fight....ended up with joint custody...but to end the fighting
I finally gave in and gave her 'full custody' that she has been asking
for and I have visitation.

My children will be 18 soon, and my daughter came to live with me
about 5 months ago, and the court said I could have joint physical
custody of her...also my son came to live with me 3 weeks ago....
(actually the ex dropped him off along with his clothes).....and he
will soon be 18.....twins.

What I want to know now is although they arent' emancipated, and
they are still in the 12th grade and living with me....do I still have
to pay her child support for them if they are living with me?

ex has sole custody.....after 5 years of fighting and losing and spending thousands of dollars for lawyers, etc...... because
she is so manipulative, etc.....this is not about her or my status in
custody...

I would like to know if when a child turns 18, and the ex has sole
custody, and he ( might go to college....unsure...).if he has requested
that he live with me.....he would like to now, but I know his Mother
would never agree....
1.  Can a child of 18 whether or not he goes to college have residency
at my home because he will be considered an adult....would he be able
to live with me.....????

Hope this doesn't sound too confusing....just want to know if a child of 18 can live with his Father???
