bipolar daughter wants to move out at 17?

my daughter turns 17 in August, she is already planning to leave, she has had eight hosiptalizations in 3 years I'm from sc, a lawyer here told me that she is an adult at 17 so theres nothing I can do. Also severe ADHD, medication is in but she is def. can not take care of herself. any suggestions

You have two options: follow the law and allow her to move or … Contact a lawyer and see if we can have her declared incompetent because she is a danger to herself or can not meet their basic needs. Look how he handles his life. Do you have a case to present on the basis of past incidents? If it is regular hospitalized, it is proving not control your life, but that you put in the hospital or do you choose? ADHD makes it very impulsive. "She attempted suicide or getting into legal problems regularly or simply can not concentrate at school and "Restless?" How will power be maintained if you move out? That is another question. if she has no income, how will rent a room or buy food? Does anyone else take care of it? Legally, she is underage and can not sign a lease or anything else. Another tactic is to work with her to plan a safe exit rather than fight it. If she does now, it will at some point. Disabled, mentally ill and people with aggravating circumstances sometimes made their own. The eight hospitalizations are an indication that his life is not for less than its strength in the hospital. What are the revenues? If it is suicidal tendencies, you have a legal custody case. If it comes to drugs, maybe she will have to learn the hard way. Best of luck to you. I am both a professional mental health and the father of an adult son with serious difficulties. It is never easy, but it is the hand that was dealt.
