Re: 17 year old leaving home
He can try to have the mother held in contempt for violating the terms of the Order. However, many judges would be a little hesitant to do that with a 17 year old child involved. He could also sit back and enjoy the child support that she should still be paying to him.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
