Those with an understanding of divorce decrees and custody laws, please come in...

[Guest]

Hi. Yes, it's me. Anyone who knows me by now knows that I love to add realism and detail into any story I write (and that's what I look for when reading a story), and those who know me should know by now that if I am uncertain of a topic I will research on it.

So, that brings me to this thread. A while back I had started a story, but as is it would not be accepted at Lit. (The age issue. ) To fit Lit's age requirement, how can I fit it in that the father did/does have custody of his daughter and the mother has visitations, and how or why would the daughter be "made" to stay at her mother's home during the summer? After all, if she's 18 (to comply) than a "legal adult" could not be "forced" to stay in either parents' home...

Someone help!! I love the start I have to this old story, but I cannot use it in its current format.

I think I would need to read what you have so far ion order to understand the situation better and then I could make suggestions.

Hey Tiggs,

the "legal adult" thing really does screw that over. What I suggest is that the reason your character is deciding to visit a parent that they do not want to visit (I assume) could be something money related. No one wants to pay their own way through college, for instance, and an 18 yr old fresh out of high school might be pressured in to visiting a hated family member on threat of having funding taken away from their education. (shrug) I hope that I have been of a little help at least, maybe this could spark an idea for you.

I was already thinking on this line some. Thank you.

Cool =)

...or possibly even trouble with the law, jail or time with parents...

This is actually a good idea. Thinking back towards the end of Senior year... ...I was a bad kid and was still under house arrest and "juvenile" probation shortly after my 18th birthday. So, being a "troubled teen" could carry over into the adult-teenhood as well.

How about this angle Tiggs...

...the child, who is over 18, goes to live with one of the parent's in order to attend college. However, the said child still keeps official residency with the legal custodian.

I do know that some divorce decress go beyond the official 18 year thing when college is in the works.

Just thought I'd throw you a bone there.

... how or why would the daughter be "made" to stay at her mother's home during the summer? ... (

Easy. it's called "moral blackmail". Most people feel a duty to that frail old couple who dragged them into this vale of tears and illness (real or imagined) usually drags the child back to the parent who is unscrupulous enough to use it.

legal age

you can be forced into somthing at any age it weater you acept it or want it is the thing

 

[bearlee]

Okay, I do this stuff everyday. In Ohio, all I can really talk about, the child remains subject to the continuing jurisdiction of the court until 18 or out of high shcool, whichever is later-appies to most kids. The kicker over 18 is the kid has to be attending an accredited high shcool on a full-time basis for support to be paid. We can now use an age 19 cut-off regardless.

On the support issue, the kid remains subject to the continuing jursidiction if there is an agreement(courts cannot yet do this) to continue support post high school either by a weekly amount or paying toward college, technical shcool, etc. and the court can enforce this.

Finally, this was touched on, if a kid is unable to support him/herself because of disability, the support obligation can continue forever.

Generally talking in terms of support, but there is no reason a visitation cannot be included, although the reality I suppose is a kid 18, still in high school, subject to a support order, is probably going to control visitation however he or she wants to do it. That can start earlier than 18 and generally does but some kids continue going out of a sense of responsibility, not to hurt the other parent's feelings or because the other parent(the one being visited) is overbearing and in order to avoid guilt trips, etc. continue to go.

isnt 21 the age in most states?

It's been my understanding that in most cases once a person is 18, the non custodial parent is "free" to stop paying direct child support.

And, with what I am working with here, I don't need the "child support" in effect for the story. I needed the daughter (18 for Lit...original story had her a minor in HS still...but I was in HS when I wrote it) bonded to her mother/mother's house somehow.

In my original story, the father was the custodial parent and the mother had the visitations. The daughter was at mom's house and called her dad to bitch, saying she didn't want to be there, etc. The dad tried to sound sympathetic, but reminded her there was nothing he could do because of the divorce and courts.

But, I think I have a new angle with work with here concerning college and the mother's "guilt trip" since she's paying out for it.

 

[MsLinnet]

This sounds very complex I think I will leave this one alone from now on

 

[Chicklet]

Tiggs - sounds like a good story

 

[Guest]

Thank you. Hopefully my "revised" Lit-approved version will be just as good. (It's all still in my head, though I don't have the old story on paper anymore, so I should be able write it out again.)

 

[juicygirl]

I look forward to it. Another sort of issue, which you know already, is the whole issue being a dependent viz. financial aid. Also, laws like that I think vary by state. Think of age of consent laws or sodomy statutes (which is really a broader category than you might think). There is the whole issue of becoming an emancipated teen too. Either way, escape occasionally requires bondage. Can't wait.

Don't you just hate it when a perfectly good word association gets interupted (sp?).

Did you ever write this up, or did you lose interest?

 

[Guest]

Wow.

I never "lost interest", per se, but I don't think I could work my original idea into a Lit approved story anyway.

Quick summary:

The girl's father had custody of her. The mother had visitations (and paid child support). It's summer, and the mother gets to have her daughter in her home for a month. She is remarried and either her new husband has two children from a previous marriage, or he has one and they have one as a couple. They live in a large house with lots of land. The step-father is an animal breeder for money. He provides a stud service.

I think "perverts" know where this is going to go?

The girl gets "curious" and caught in the act one evening when only she and the step-dad are home.


So, with that said, I don't think I can work this idea into a Lit approved story. I do, however, feel that other good ideas came from this thread for "different" stories.

Incredible

Chicklet,

How did your remeber this thread?

Amazed...

 

[Chicklet]

Re: Wow.

lol

could be an "extreme" story, even if the extreme stories never really get updated...maybe we should start our own website with whatever stories we want.

Anyone else have some ideas?

Chicklet

ps - eric, was actually searching for a different thread (which i can't find) and found this one - pulled it up, y'know?

 

[Guest]

...maybe we should start our own website with whatever stories we want...

I wouldn't know the first thing to doing that, but it's been done before with Lit members. And, I can't even post my stories to an AOL homepage. So many closed minded people reported me the last time I linked my Lit stories. "Lit was offensive and obscene".

ps - eric, was actually searching for a different thread (which i can't find) and found this one - pulled it up, y'know?

What site are you trying to find? Were you ever subscribed to it? Or, do you remember a "good" keyword for it?

 

[Chicklet]

Off Topic, SORRY!

What site are you trying to find? Were you ever subscribed to it? Or, do you remember a "good" keyword for it?

It was before I knew what subscribing to a thread was

Air-whatshisface over in the brother sister incest thread made me think of it. A thread in which stranger and I were talking about a possible incest story where the a character had been raped in her past by a prominant man in the town she lived in, he being white and she being black. She bears a child from the rape and raises her in the community with the child having no idea who her father is. The child of course falls in love with the rapists son, and the mother is like "you can't be with him 'cause he's your brother!"

Don't remember what the thread was originally about...looked up all the threads I'd participated in...list was too long. Looked up the one's Stranger had participated in...it was shorter, but still long.

[Guest]

First of all, I meant "thread" and not "site"...

And, off hand I'm not sure which one that was. Sorry.
