Q: Can I sent or take my 17 year old son without his wish to my home country to live with my parents another state won't be an optIon. He need to be around family. If he refused can I still be able to take him? With legal help.? I live in NY. He was honor student until 8 now not doing good in school hangout with wrong crowd and smokes marijuana. I am thinking changing environment might change him too. What are my options beside going to family court. It would be better for him to leave the wrong crowd. maybe when he is little mature he can come back. I'm scared because he was arrested twice because of his friends actions and he was present with them. I cant see him in jail or in the system. I worked hard to raised him he is good and smart but now he follows his friends. No family around.
A: David's Answer: If both parents agree, then there seems no legal reason why you can't do it. That said, the practical result may be that if the child adamantly objects, he may runaway - which then may create more problems than the one you're trying to solve. It may be advisable to sit down with a Family Law attorney before taking any action. -- David Bliven, Westchester Family Law attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
