Child wanting to divorce parent

Dear FEARFORCHILD:

Greetings. My advice is that you file a child custody action and ask for the child to be placed in your care and ask the court to order a psychological evaluation of the child.

You are not going to be able to terminate her mother’s rights or divorce her mother…as in North Carolina divorce is between parents, not parents and children. Best of luck.

I have a daughter, 17 years old. Will be 18 in January… living under terrible emotional conditions with her mother. She has left home several times only to be bullied into coming back. What options does this child have to break free of her mother? We have discussed her terminating her mothers rights, divorcing her mother… are not sure of what direction to take? Any assistance is appreciated…
