In Illinois when can you legally kick your child out and how can you do it?

Answer 1

If the person is over 18, they can be requested to leave the family residence. If they refuse to leave voluntarily, authorities can be called for assistance, although that is a matter that should be avoided if at all possible. For those under the age of majority parents can contact juvenile authorities on advice/assistance in resolving the problem(s). If the situation warrants it, the minor can be taken into custody by the juvenile court and detained until an investigation and evaluation is made. Depending upon the circumstances the court can order family counseling with the minor returned to the family home under court supervisory guidelines. Other options might be the minor remanded to a group or foster home, or appointed a legal guardian.

I work at Juvenile Court and without a crime being committed we are not likely to intervene There is a law called Minor Requiring Authoritative Intervention but the process to get to a judge is also not likely. If your kid is on drugs take him/her to rehab (Gateway or Abraxus) or for mental illness a place like Streamwood Behavioral Every intervention is voluntary except jail and the prisons are full for a reason. Domestic Battery is the usual charge to get a judge to intervene.

Answer 2

Whenever they become a legal adult in the country. Some states allow it to happen when they're under 18, but keep in mind that should your child want to raise a stink about it, the feds will overrule the states every single time...

If you can talk them into so much as looking at the first page of the case.

Answer 3

Leaving Home

The parents of an non-emancipated minor have the custody and control of such minor. This means that the parents can legally decide where the minor lives until the minor reaches the age of majority (usually 18) or otherwise becomes emancipated. Whether you have a child or not does not change that.

If a minor moves away from the home of his or her parents or legal guardians without their permission, that minor can be picked up by authorities as a runaway. Depending upon the state, there may be an evaluation stage in which the situation is reviewed to insure that the individual is not endangered by being returned to the home. Some states have recognized that minors that are 16 or 17 are often considered questionable as to their ability to leave home. Authorities may not want to deal with minors in this age group and some states are establishing legislation enforcing the age of majority and eliminating any questions in the eyes of the law enforcement community.

Check with your local laws for more specifics. If you are in an unsafe environment, law enforcement personnel can put you in contact with the appropriate agencies to obtain help.
