Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
My son is 17.5, and until March lived with me (plus my wife and daughter) in Florida. He has some serious mental problems, and is not welcome to return here because he poses a danger to my younger daughter and our pets. He now lives with his mother, where she has neglected to get him the necessary medication/therapy he needs so now his problems are out of control.
His mother just sent me a text telling me she is done, can't deal and is buying a plane ticket and sending him to me like it or now. Seeing as he cannot come here without my wife and daughter moving out, I need to know if I'm obligated to take him, and what my options are. I'm not opposed to turning him over to the state, as it would guarantee he gets the help his mother refused to get for him.

YOU need to have a psychiatrist state what his problems are. You can have the court grant you plenary guardianship over him , which would allow you to state where he is to live, meds for him etc.
