Re: out of control teen

The best way to accomplish this is to file an action in Family Court to transfer "temporary custody" of the child to the third party. Both parents must be given notice of and consent to this action, and if they do, it is usually quick and relatively easy.

If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
