Legal Question in Juvenile Dependency in Illinois
Juvenile Rights
My son is 17 & will be 18 on 2/23 and wants to move out of the home. What can he remove from my home and how does that affect him getting into a college that he's been accepted to, can he say we kicked him out and then have gramma or auntie sign docs for him even if we didn't kick him out. Situation based on defiant over rules and controlling girlfriend & her parents telling him to do these things.

Re: Juvenile Rights
Hello and Happy New Year. Technically
your son is still a minor. He legally
has no right to remove anything from
your home, without your approval. Of
course, he is embarking on a trip that
will be very difficult if he is relying upon his relationship with his
girlfriend to rebel. At anytime they
could break up and he would be out in
the cold. Certainly it is in his best
interest if he can receive emotional
as well as financial assistance in
the college ranks and in applying to
college and all that goes with it. His girlfriend's parents may turn out to be his worse enemy. The fact that they are telling him to disrespect you
is not a good sign. If the girlfriend's parents have a change of
heart toward your son, then what? I
am merely bringing out some issues here and am suggesting that you do all
that you can to keep your son at home, at least until the start of college. I will be happy to discuss this with you further and in more detail.
