[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Morally, it’s horrible. Legally, the sources cited above suggest a legal obligation to provide financial support through high school even for a child who has turned 18. How easy or hard it is to enforce that is a separate question. I imagine DCFS would not view it as a priority, but hiring an attorney to take the parents to court to get force support might be quite effective. [/quote] I think that by the time someone is asking this question, things must be pretty bad in the family. Either the child has serious issues that make life extremely difficult and maybe dangerous for the family or the family has financial issues and can't handle the child's needs or the family is so dysfunctional that they are not capable of the desire to care for their child. I guess there could be more reasons, but I can't envision any scenario that isn't sad for all involved. [/quote]
