There are a several things that bother me...
1. Daughter refused to live by her parent's rules in their house so she walked out the door.
2. She is staying with a friend whose father arranged for her to meet with the lawyer and encouraged her to sue her parents. The father wants child support for her-- wait! she is over 18, no child support. He can ask for assistance with her expenses but child support isn't the method.
3. She doesn't want to be a part of the family but wants their money. There is such a thing as public school. Yes, she would have to change schools at the end of her senior year but, again, her choice.
4. Supposedly she has been cutting school, doing poorly, etc. Which college would take someone who is not passing their classes? No college acceptance, no need for college tuition. She may have already had an acceptance before she walked out the door, but that does not mean that the school will not take back the acceptance. I know several kids who were accepted at their first choice school who decided to skate once they received their acceptance to the point they did not have an acceptable GPA their last semester. Imagine their surprise when that letter came telling them "we are sorry but you are no longer wanted by our school due to your poor grades during your last semester."
I have always told me kids that when you live at home, you take the good and you take the bad.
