Unable to determine what the question is. A "legal father in absentia" is not a legal term with which I am familiar.
not legally...
you have to get permission from your dad.
No you can't. Your parents are in charge of you until you are 18. Some states will let a person decide where they want to live at 16, but not all of them.
A dad is a person that hates you so much and is not even close to a person to a dad. The key term dad means hatred and wants to hurt you
Legally, a friend cannot become your sister. Sisterhood is a relationship defined by family ties through blood, adoption, or sometimes marriage, while friendship is based on personal connection and choice. However, friends can become like family and hold a special bond similar to siblings.
He can buy a shotgun, but, it is legally his until you turn 18
Depends on what he has been in for and if he is declared as a unfit parent or not.
Put the other person first.
It depends on how you are using the word "dad". If you are saying something like, "On Saturday, my dad took me to the zoo" then you are using "dad"" as a common noun You are talking about your relationship to the person who took you to the zoo, not using the person's name. If you are saying, "On Saturday, Dad took me to the zoo" then you are using "dad" as a proper noun. You are using the name of the person who took you to the zoo, in this instance, not talking about your relationship to that person.
