Legal Question in Family Law in California

Re: 18 year old not in high school

What do you mean you were removed? Didn't they send you to another high school?

Re: 18 year old not in high school

You are an adult when you turn 18, whether you graduate from High School or not. I know that a lot of parents think differently. After reading this post, many new adults may suddenly end up on the streets. At least my dad, out of the "kindness of his heart" waited until I graduated high school to kick me out. It was graduation night, and without any warning, he kicked me out the front door and locked it behind me. Actually, under the tenancy at will law, your parents would legally have to give you 30 days notice, but could cut you off from all food, and everything in the house except for a place to lie down at night. There is a legal question whether they could take away all your clothing and other possessions; I suppose they could, unless you paid for those items. So, if I were you, I would remove as many possessions as you could and start looking. I lived in my car for the first month until I saved up enough money from my job to rent a place. I now know that there are places you can go, like homeless shelters that will help out on an emergency basis. If you thought your life was tough up to this point, get ready, because it is about to get a whole lot worse.
