If my 17 year old daughter comes to live with me, is her father still obligated financially to help?
My husband and I have been legally separated for almost 2 years with him being listed as the primary care giver of our daughter who is now 17. She is now interested in living with me and her father is stating that he no longer has to help with insurance, child support, etc. What are the correct steps in handling this situation? What are my rights if any?
