[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 524993, member: 2315"] A child caan be emancipated as young as 16 in alaska if certain reqquirements are met. Otherwise it is 18 as far as I can see. Often when a child reaches legal adult age THEY THINK THAT PARENTS CANNOT TELL THEM WHAT TO DO. That may be true but a parent still has many options when an adult child is living under their roof and being supported by them. Of course these options are easier if both parents are on the same page which is hard enough when there are good open communication lines between the parents. When this is not the case it can be hard to impossible. Maybe if you can video tape your son being horrid to you and show it to your husband you can make him understand why son needs to move out and locks should be changed. You do have options, albeit hard ones. You say he is headed to jail. You could speed things up and call the police the next time he steals from you or uses pot or other illegal substances in your home. It is a hard concept for a parent to wrap their head around but many of us here have had to do just that. -RM [/QUOTE]
