You will need a legal opinion on this.  I'm neither a lawyer and I won't  to go to the law library to research this for reasons stated below.  Your best bet is to have your sister contact legal services organization in your area. You didn't mention which state you are in, the laws may vary from state to state.  Your sister may also want to contact the school system.  There could several complications here like the terms of a divorce settlement.  Sometimes divorce settlements even specify which parent is going to pay what portion of college expenses.  \n\nIf your sister can afford it she may want to hire a lawyer.  It's best to get one who specializes in family law.  Otherwise, she may want to contact a legal services organization or other organization who offers legal help to the poor.  \n\nFurther, it should be considered what is psychologically best for both of them and the whole family.  It might be a good idea to bring a family counselor into the situation.  A legal solution may be made but it will be of little value if the parties involved are hating each other.  \n\nYour sister should look into this herself unless you are trusted by both your sister and your mother.\n\nIf she is interested in going to college she may be able to get early admission and financial aid which she can live on.\n\nI suspect what is really needed, more than anything else, is some form of family counseling.  \n\nGood luck and God Bless!

Was Deidra told that her mom was selling the building and that she was going to have to start paying rent? It really doesn't matter but I was just wondering.\n\nAnyway, if I were your sister I would hire an attorney and have Diedra served with a legal notice. If she does not comply with the terms in the notice (and the lawyer will know how to word them), then I would start eviction procedures. Be very careful in what you talk to Dedra about because in some states (like mine) it is illegal to discuss any persons bill or anything like that, to any family member. Your sister could get in trouble for discussing this with any family member. It wouldn't be enough to allow Diedra to live in the apartment rent free, but it could be enough to where she wouldn't have to pay the back rent. Your sister can also mess up Deidra's credit with all this too.

YOU ARE NOT WRONG FOR KICKING HER OUT HUNNIE, YOU TOLD HER STRICTLY THAT NO DRINKING WAS ALLOWED, AND SHE DISRESPECTED YOU AND YOUR WHOLE FAMILY. YOU ROCK BECAUSE YOU PUT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY FIRST. IT DOES NOT MATTER THAT YOU HAVE KNOWWN HER SCINSE 4TH GRADE...SHE WAS A BAD FRIEND...YOU OFFERED HER A HOME AND SHE DIDN'T TAKE THE MATTER WISELY! IT IS HER FAULT AND SHE SHOULD BE THE ONE COMING BACK TO YOU SAYING SORRY. I HOPE THIS WORKS OUT AND PLEASE KEEP ON BEING SUCH A GOOD MOTHER!

i believe a 15 year old would have alot of say in california.  has your mom filed an order to show cause why she can't move?  does she have good reason other than your being a performer? after all, there is L.A.  how far from LA do your live? there needs to be good cause for her to move and take you with her.  there is much case law on the subject. check out "findlaw.com", search Cal cases and codes, search words "move-away"

There's nothing you can do about it.  Legally she has every right to it.  I know how you feel, my parents did the same thing to me when I was a kid.  Hey, why aren't you in school?

What about locking her in the closet?  Can you let her watch some TV show or video she likes? Maybe she is posessed by an evil spirit, this is a possibility, however remote. If she is afraid of authority figures, tell her that if she's bad you'll call the police. Some people have done this when their kids have gone nutzoid. Ask your mom ahead of time if you can do this, because she might go ballistic herself. You really need a break from your sister, can't your mom find some one to give you a break?  Is there anything that you can control her with, like tell her if she shuts up that you'll do something for her. Does she have no self control, like nothing you do can make her stop? If so she needs some professional psychological help, like a child psychologist. Good luck! How old are you anyway? This isn't good for you to have to go through this.\n*****************************************************************\nIs there someone at school, like a teacher you can talk to, or your doctor about this? Your mom seems to be putting a lot of pressure on you. You should be having fun being a kid, not being put in a pressure cooker like this.

at 17 your legally able to move out if you think you can handle it. even though police or "legal authorities" dont recommend it and like to get ignorant. You cant be sent back home. You can be tried as an adult at 17 so you can move out at 17. I moved out at 17 and the police said there is nothing that can be done. Goodluck and take care

You don't actually gain any new rights.  However, you could get an attorney and try to become emancipated from your mother.  You would have to prove that you have extenuating circumstances, a means of financial support while still attending school and you would have to have someone willing to act as your guardian.

Hi David, u r certainly behaving like a grown adult. well done. As for your sister she needs a kick up the butt, ask her who's paying the bills, puts food on the table n gives shelter, If shes providing it then kick the other person out otherwise put up n shut up.

Yes, you can get "emancipated" from your parents and this is a situation in which the judge may grant in your favor.  Check these sites out and try and get more proof of your mom behavior for the courts.  \n\nI dont know what state you live in but in california you only have to be 14 to get emancipated from your parents.

your mom is offering to help you!! she wants the best for you and is willing to do what it takes for you get treatment and life on back on track..she seems like a responsible caring woman so i would say stick with your mother even if it means getting kicked out of your house! its only because she loves you and until you figure out the consequences of your actions..then i presume she will keep doing it

You have to be 18.  If you're under that then you have to have an adult with you.

Easy. Grow a pair of balls and tell her that she has 90 days to move out unless she pays rent. Tell here that when her 90days are up she will either pay the rent or you will throw her stuff out in the yard. \n\nIf she doesnt pay throw all of her stuff in the front yard and change the locks. \n\nIf you threaten her but do not follow through with it she will never respect you. \n\nBTW I am 25 maried w/ kids of my own. (Notice I can see it from her perspective as far as age is concerned and yours as far as a parents perspective is concerned

Education is mandatory in the U.S. Not sending a child to school constitutes abuse. Your dad might lose custody of you and your sister.
