Minors

My son is not and his wife decided to end their marriage and leave their 5 year old kid with us for some time. Now both don't want to take the kid back. They refuse to provide monetary help to us for taking care of their child. I have no means to support this child. I would like to know the punishment for not giving child support to a minor in Oklahoma.

My neighbor left his kids in school, locked his house and has still not returned. Its been a week now and the kids for the time being are staying with us. My neighbor has not even called once to check on them. Can I file a complaint against my neighbor for leaving his kids without arranging for their care and support? We live in Rhode Island.

My mom is a widow. She is dating a guy, who apparently hates me. I guess because of this my mom is refusing to give me money for my personal expenses. She has stopped my pocket money as well. Can I complain against my mom? I am 15 years old and a resident of Maryland.

My brother lives with his kids (7 and 14 year old girls) in Texas. His wife left him one month ago. It seems that she doesn’t want to take the responsibility of kids and so she decided to move out. Can a mother refuse to take the responsibility of her own kids?

My friend left her husband and baby for a job in N.Y. Her husband is still living in the hope that my friend would return for the baby’s sake. If my friend never returns and refuses to take care of her baby, would she be punishable under the law prevailing in Vermont.
