kicked out!!!!!!!
16/f.
my mom recently kicked me out because i came home past my curfew. is she allowed to do that since im only 16?
im living with my dad right now but its really hard cause he doesnt have a good job and we can barely eat and i have to walk to school from a different city ever morning. it takes me like 40 minutes.
my little brother still lives with my mom and she gets child support for both of us.
i live in michigan, can anybody tell me what the law is about kicking a minor out.
can my dad collect a paycheck everymonth since he is not financially able to support me?
THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Actually, it's perfectly legal. My parents used that on me when I was 16... and actually kicked me out once.
If your dad gets legal custody of you, then he can collect child support... but until then, he doesn't have a legal right to it.
You could help out by getting a job, though... even a part time after school job will help make things easier.

I'm not sure how the law works over in Michigan or in the US for that matter but I would think the police would not be happy with your parents kicking out a minor. Moreover, your mom shouldn't technically be collecting child support under your name when you are not even living with her anymore (that's illegal) and instead your dad should be getting it to help support you living with him.
If you are intending to permanently stay with your dad then it is something your dad should take up with the relevant agency that pay child support to have it straightened out as well as check up on what the law is about kicking out a minor, or you can try calling the police to have a check with them on the law regarding this. I've found generally they are very helpful - especially if you pop into the station to talk with them (if you call them ensure you ring your local station and not the emergency number).
Personally, I think your mom was in the wrong to kick you out, it's wreckless throwing a teenage girl out to fend for herself - regardless if you did have somewhere to go or not. I know she needs to discipline but this was the wrong way to do it. I really hope you manage to sort things out. *hugz*

i'm not sure what the laws are exactly, but if you are looking to get back with your mom i would try to work things out with her. if she is not willing to take you back, or if you don't want to go back, you're parents will probably have to go to court over it. your mom should not be recieving child support for you if she is not actually supporting you. so that right there would take a load off of your dad financially, since he is now basically paying child support for you twice. if you stay with your dad he will have to gain custody of you and you will probably end up changing schools. i would definitely talk to a guidance counselor at your school because he or she will have a lot more information and advice. i hope things turn out well for you.
