Sounds like she only cares about them for the money they can provide her.

Parents are not a cash cow.

Too bad, girl. You don’t want to be under their authority?

Suck it up. Make your own way without them.

Her father is very liberal. Considering how much of a brat she is, I’m not surprised.

Will there be an appeal?

The minute I heard about this story I felt the need to pray for all involved, especially the young lady. She is making decisions that could leave a permanent wedge between her and her parents. From what I understand, she is their only child? I pray for healing for all involved. The other seasoned adults in this story should be ashamed of themselves for encouraging this kind of behavior.

I'm always negatively impressed by the higher proportion of ill-motivated, entitled-feeling, petulant and parent-and-authority-hating kids that arise from liberal families.

Not always the case, of course, but from my observations, a fair case could be made.

“Her willful failure to live in concert with her family and their rules and lifestyle, her defiance in seeking to live with her boyfriend’s family then her friend’s family and her alienation of her parents clearly demonstrates that she refuses to live within their sphere of influence,” Rush-Masuret writes.

What’s in it for the “Good Guy” lawyer footing the bills for this brat - oh wait never mind sorry I asked but I’m sure that his wife is just thrilled to death with the arrangement. They house her, feed her, transport her and pay for her legal bills, yea I’m sure the “Good Guy’s” wife is really, really thrilled.

Having raised six children.. I have experienced this type of rebellion by my kids friends, but not nearly as egregious...

Whenever my teenager girlfriend tried to stay with us because their parents were: pick one, mean, cruel, too demanding, strict, controlling, whatever...

One call to the parents solved the problem....

"Come get your brat and work out the problems"...

Never failed to work...

The father who is footing her legal bills and expenses is a idiot beyond understanding...

Something seems off about this whole deal. A very lib parent upset his kid shacks up? A lawyer housing the kid? Well not kid...adult. 18 is adult.

The only think that does not shock me is a child raised by a liberal ‘feels’ entitled.

All the above said, I have known a couple people in my life with helicopter parents that were utterly convinced that they had final say in all aspects of their ‘married with children’ (no not THAT Married with Children ;) offspring’s lives. And those offspring were in their 30s and moderately successful.

Final call: 1: Parents are not financially responsible. 2: Kid is old enough to make her decisions and live with them. 3: Parents are likely why the kid is hosed to begin with. 4: Liberalism destroys families.

The next 6 weeks until the April 22 hearing will be interesting to watch.

Mr Inglesino who Rachel is living with has now heard from the judge that there will be no money coming her and thus his way — no reimbursement for legal fees or for her living expenses.

So then at what point is he now going to kick her to the curb???

I had a girl like that living with me. Only child, millenniel. She was a drama queen. She grew enraged when people or things couldn't be the way she wanted them to be.

She recently got married, and I'm apprehensive, although I wish her the best.

This judge may be on the cusp of busting lots of law. 18, right? An adult, right? Then why further restrictions elsewhere? If this little b*tch is officially an adult and the parents are not on the hook, she can buy alcohol,or firearms, or can carry concealed, or...or...or..

IS 18 an adult OR NOT?

An eighteen year old is no longer a child. If she announces that she is now shacking up with her lawyer benefactor, that’s legally mox nix to everyone except for his wife.

This one is a total L.U.G. once she hits the college campus.
As another said, potential “husbands”, STAY AWAY!
