My 16 year old daughter and her 2 month old son live with me Since I have custody of her don't I have some rights over him She keeps threatening to leave?
Depends on the child laws where you live. In Canada, at age 14 - a child can live where ever they like. However, if there is an infant or young child involved and the mother is leaving to a place that may not be safe or conducive to a minor- you should call the Child Service protection agency. Just because you have "custody" of a 16 year old does not mean you have custody of her child unless it is court ordered. In Canada, a 16 year old does not fall under the child protection act any longer.
