From 3-12 her mother and I have spent enough money on attorney bills to put her through college probably twice. If I thought it would have been best for her, I would have let her go sooner and the judge always agreed with my point of view. At 15, she was old enough (I felt) to make the decision. It worked well, for a little while. She lived with her mom for 2 1/2 years. Her mom and stepdad a basically good people. She says she was tired of being their cinderella, taking care of her brothers while they slept or played video games. Wanted to enjoy her senior year. She wasn't kicked out, just decided to come live with dad.
