Legal Question in Family Law in North Carolina

What? Seriously? Your daughter wants you to pay child support to her? My daughter would be nursing an @$$ whipping if she pulled crap like that with me. It is clearly way past time for you to put on the parent pants and administer a huge dose of tough love. Daughter needs to get her little butt back into school and like right now. You're actually committing a crime if you allow this and / or fail to get her back in school. If you can't make her go, the Court can certainly assist you with that by giving her some proper motivation. If she's old enough to make those kinds of decisions regarding dropping out herself, she's old enough to be out in the real world supporting herself. Getting back into school is most likely her best bet for a decent future but some people simply aren't suited for school because they don't have the aptitude. There is nothing inherently wrong with that. Many people have jobs, families, lead productive lives and are productive members of society and yet never graduated high school. If this is the case, then she needs to get a job if she wants to stay at home with you or pay her bills. Further, if she is not cut out for regular school, then she needs to look into some vocational training. Your local community college may have programs she is interested in. She could also look into serving in the military - it is great experience perhaps even a career. But quitting school, laying up in your house or where ever and demanding you pay her support - yeah, I don't think so sister! If you withdraw financial support and stop enabling her self destructive behavior, as soon as those miss-meal cramps start kicking in, she will most likely re-evaluate her decisions.
