Legal Question in Family Law in California

Involuntary Termination of Parental Rights

In my custody order there is no mention of anything on child support. Just term.of his rights to my son. My son is now 17 and has been determined to have Bi polar etc. since 3rd grade. Have never asked or recieved anything or any help. Can't do it any more. I'm tapped out of money and all resources. Would it be worth it to take him to court for support or not? I know he is remarried and has a bussiness in her married name with him. He owns his home but its probably in his mothers name, dont know. I don't know what to do!

Yes, you would get support. Possibly even past 18 if the circumstances are right, such as if your son's mental disability prevents him from earning a living. You should consult with an attorney to help analyze the facts of your case to determine if this might apply to your son after he turns 18.
