My husbad has legal sole custody of his 18 year old daughter who has not yet graduated from high school. She left home voluntarily last year (after lying/steeling/violence), however was not permitted back in the family home due to trust issues as well as violence and death threats against me. She is currently living with her maternal Grandparents and we pay them room and board.
At what age does my husband no longer have to pay room and board, or are is he obligated to now? There is no agreement in place, it is only a verbal agreement that he agreed to for her to live with them and go to school. Prior to living with them she was boarding with her boyfriends family.
Now that she is 18, it is likely she will move out on her own, and I'm not sure if she will continue with school. She has one year left if she is able to pass this year, and she will continue with high school co-op.
At what point can my husband stop payments. At what age is she considered an Adult. Are there other programs she is elligible for? She also has a job and will likely work full time during the summer.
I haven't been able to find any information, as this case is unique. My husband was never married to the mother, he had full joint custody up until early childhood and then sole custody after that. Her mother has never paid any support, and he now pays room and board to her grandparents (who have also threatened to kick her and and basically said she has to re-evaluate her living situation at the end of the school year).
Any advice is appreciated.
