Home More advice Parents & Family
So after I posted "screwed up family" things got better, and today is her birthday, but I was talking to her like 5 min ago, and she told me that she was going to divorce our family after spring break! (2 weeks) and she is planning to move in with her friend... She just turned 13! Is this even legal???!?!?!?! I hate becca!!! Its all her fault! If she didnt hangout with becca she wouldnt be doing this!!! She wouldnt have runaway, she wouldnt have hurt herself, and she wouldnt try to divorce our family!!! My parents dont know about this yet and my sis is talking to her friend's dad and he might say he'll adopt her (not good). Theyve been looking into it on the internet!!! Ahhh sorry im kind pissed, but you would be to if your lil sis was moving out! Im mean for crying out loud she's only in 7th grade!!! (im in 9th) and my parents said not to tell anyone about what is happening (running away etc.) with her and I hate trying to be so fake around my friends! I hate it!! I have to put on this act like I have this perfect family (and im not saying im the only one who has the perfect family! There are many others like me) but I cant believe this might actually happen! Ill never get to see her! She would move in with her friend and they might move to ny or ca or somewhere far away!!! First of all I love my lil sis!!! (no matter how annoying she may be) and second I cant live without her even though I dont always act like it! My parents dont know and they think shes getting better, and so did I! This sucks!
So basically my 2 question are:
1: is it legal for a 13 yr. Old to move out (and what do you have to do or can you stop it)
2: I need advice on how to deal with this. Its not just my sis thats going through a tough time... She blamed everything on me! I dont know why! I mean I let her borrow my clothes and do w/e and she treats me like crap but I live and they're all like 'poor her' so yeah sorry I talk to long, I just have a lot on my plate!
in order to be emancipated, she would have to prove to a judge that she could support herself and knows what is in her best interests. So far, her actions proove otherwise. I don't think you have anything to worry about unless she has a job, a place to stay, a logical reason to divorce the family like abuse, and a good lawyer. The second she walks out the door with her suitcase, your parents can call the cops on her for being a runaway. Soon she'll figure out she can't do a thing but grow up. When she get's older, maybe she will realize that boundaries are meant to protect her. Good luck.
...it is legal...as the funadvise people told yhew...its the same...dont listen to the other people...maybe she just likes the way her friend is living...maybe if you see her ...ask her what is the differences about living with her real family and her friend!!!JUst mayb give her a little time to herself and then try to make it work out...!!! Hope my advice helped... Domo
hahaha no, it's most definitely not legal, you have to be AT LEAST 16 to be emancipated first of all. and what you can do to stop it is nothing, because she can't do it. she can't get adopted by someone else unless your parents divorce her from the family and allow it. don't worry about it, no matter what she says she's going to do, she legally can't do it.
Well, that depends on your parents. Ignore your sis for a while. She sounds pretty selfish to me but maybe she just needs some space.
She has to have a valid reason for emmancipation but there are different ways of emancipation .
hahahaha its not legal. no matter what ya do they still yo parents.what a weird question
thanks! that makes me feel a lot better!!
No it's not legal.
