Hello,
I posted awhile back regarding my 17 year old difficult child. Quick recap, he is 17, still our responsibility legally, and we have him living in an efficiency we pay for (and food) due to his dropping out of high school, inability and unwillingness to get a job, and his daily drug use. It cannot work with him in our house while we are raising an 8 year old girl. I received great support and really good advice, thank you all. A common theme I saw was that we consult an attorney. Well, we need to now as we can't go on doing this as it is killing us financially. What type of attorney should we consult? Family law, juvenile law, custody, etc? We have prepaid legal and can borrow against our 401k to pay for it, I just want this expedited and to make sure we see the right attorney. Keeping this vague, we are in Pinellas County in Florida. Please let me know if anyone has a suggestion, thanks.
