Minors

At what age are you legally considered an adult in the state of Florida?

I have filed un-ruly charges on my 14 year old son. This is the second time. The first time we just met with a mediator of the court and nothing was imposed. If again nothing is done as a parent what rights do I have? There is not physical abuse involved. He is un-ruly, disrespectul, very verbally abusive, does not follow the rules at home, has other minors in my home while I am at work, is gone during the day (was kicked out of school). As a parent what are my rights? I am sure he is engaging in sexual behavior due to the emails and me looking at his text messages and the video I saw on his phone. Should I have gotten an attorney?

Is it legal in Washington for a 21year old to date a 16 year old?

My fourteen child is a chronic runaway. She does not attend school. I've been to court many times to answer why shes not in school. She has been arrested 3 times and the courts do not do anything to her. She always seems to fall through the cracks. She is now currently on the run with a adult man. I have been through so much with her, now I only want to emancipate her so I don't have any legal troubles. How can I do that?

What is the procedure of getting emancipated and how long does it take?
