Re: child abandament and custody
Your statement of facts is confusing. The procedure, that would appear to fit your situation, would be to file a petition for dissolution of marriage and request sole legal and physical custody. At the time you file the petition for dissolution you should seek a court order removing her from the home. This would protect the home from being damaged by her when she learns of the dissolution proceeding.
As for your 17 year old daughter you provided no indication where she is living and why she is not living with you.
