[QUOTE="witzend, post: 187722, member: 99"] Is she going to school, or will she be when the school year starts? I would get the truant office involved if she is skipping out. Once they are aware that she is not attending, then find out what she is doing while she is not attending, you will have some support from them. I agree with the others. It sounds as though she is the one who is in control of your house. I realize that the NY laws say that you can't make them do anything and you can't kick them out until they are 21, but those laws bend when you have other agencies backing you up. You can't kick her out, but you [i]can[/i] make her so miserable with your rules that her only choices are to shape up or ship out. It's not that your only hope now is to kick her out, but you need to take control of your house again. At 17 she is too old to be made to change her mind. But she can choose to change her mind about how she lives. Maybe she will choose to live a more reasonable life in your home. But coming in and out all night with her thug friends wouldn't be happening. She's in for the night, or she's out. She's shouldn't be using the house as a place to store her stuff and come and go to get it as she pleases. As far as the story she told you, is there any chance it's a lie she told to rile you up?
