|
|
| Hi. I am 18 years old. I recently moved out of my parents house. I spoke to a lawyer and he said that I could get the money from my car that they took back and a stereo in the car. The car was a gift and it was bought for $4200. I payed 500 of that. $1000 was a birthday and christmas gift and the rest was paid with a trade-in, which was also a gift. I put a stereo in the car that is valued at over $500. When I was 17 they withdrew me from my private schooling and did not reregister me in school. Could I get the costs of my schooling that I had to pay for because of them removing me from High School as a minor? My schooling that I am currently in costs me $589. Would I need an attorney for this? Would it do me any good to have one? If so, could I get that cost of that too? I also suffered a lot of mental distress because of the name callings and being pulled from school. It was very stressful and caused my performance at school and work to decrease. What should I try to get in court?MG, I have already heard enough from other family members about the relationship BS. If I wanted anyone to tell me about that I would have asked a question about it. Why dont you try answering the question I posted? Also, just so you know, I have had another lawyer and a bunch of other tell me about what I could get. I was wondering if anyone on here would have anymore advice. So if you are going to answey my question, then great. If not, keep the relationship crap to yourself. They have brought this on themselves by taking things that were legally mine. |

| Suing your parents will cost you, at a minimum, a relationship with them...and any prospect of a healthy relationship in the future. Any attorney recommending such action by an upset teen is (1) a bloody fool, (2) desperate for a paying client, or most likely (3) both.Ask your bright counsel how many cases he's tried along these lines. Cool down my friend and think this through before launching a foolish lawsuit that's very likely to net you nothing but more trouble. |
