The Hands-On Guide to Surviving Adult Children Living at Home

If you're faced with the frustration of dealing with adult children moving home -with their children and with or without their significant other, you need to know you're not alone.

They may be taking advantage of you without even meaning to or maybe they don't care that they are using you and your resources up.

This site has great information to help you. They even have a contract for you and your adult children to sign that sets the rules and obligations that the adult child is expected to be responsible for.

While it's nice to think that families with adult children living with parents can always get along like they do on TV, the fact is that having adult children return home -- also called boomerang kids -- can put a ton of stress on you and your partner.

Parenting at a Distance
Staying in touch with the children who live in your heart but not in your home.

As a bipolar mother I will never have custody of my children. That is the hardest thing I had to accept. Parenting at a Distance helps me send them activities that will help them remember me with some happy memories. I am getting better and they are getting older. Some day there will be an opportunity for us to sit together. I will tell them how much joy I found in putting together their projects and I hope they will be able to tell me how much they enjoyed my efforts. Really a good book. Meghan Morris --Letter to the publisher

Parenting at a Distance, has been a great resource for me. At first the mother of my son didn't want to help me communicate with the kids. The fact that I had a plan for contact with them and was consistent won her over. I think she gets as much a kick out of the seeing what will be in the next package as the boys do. Ken Richards --Weekend Fathers Newsletter.

Stepdad.org

Being a Step Dad is really no much different from being a Biological Dad, but comes with it's own challenges and extra responsibilities. All Children, whether one's own, step children, or adopted children are one of the most important parts of a parent's life. The only (thin) difference is that of inherited genes. The good news is - Love goes beyond emotion, bloodline, and genetic coding. Even though it takes time for love to grow, the deeds of love can be begun immediately. Adjusting to a Step-Dad or Step-Children can pose unforeseen challenges, but love sees no boundaries!


Fatherville.com

We are a resource for fathers...by fathers and about fathers. We are here to encourage and support dads as they make their journey down the road called fatherhood..

Our mission and goal is to encourage men to become better fathers through the exchange of ideas. This exchange can take place in a number of ways: via our online forum, written essays and contributed articles from other fathers. If you are a dad there's something here for you.

We believe that when dads communicate and relate their personal tips, tricks and traps that all fathers can benefit and perhaps avoid some of the pitfalls that will occur on your journey.

Couples are given the opportunity to look at themselves, privately with their partner in an honest, face-to-face, heart-to-heart encounter.

    Engaged Encounter, is a weekend experience designed to help couples prepare personally and as a couple for marriage. The focus is on the marriage, not on the wedding. "A wedding is a day ... a marriage is a lifetime." Couples are shown communication and decision-making techniques they can use throughout their lifetime together. Engaged Encounter is specifically designed for quiet reflection and discussion by each couple. It is a positive, simple, common-sense experience between two people who are either seriously considering engagement, engaged or recently married. At no time will the couple be asked to share their private experiences with the group.

 Pro Bono Programs 
    One way to find a lawyer to provide free legal representation in civil cases is by contacting a pro bono program -- also known as volunteer lawyer programs. Pro bono programs are operated by state, county or local bar associations; by legal services programs; by other agencies in the community or independently. They use local attorneys who have agreed to provide free legal representation to eligible persons referred by the pro bono program. There are tens of thousands of attorneys throughout the country who volunteer their services through these programs.

    In Anchorage but we serve the entire state of Alaska as a private, non-profit corporation that provides free civil legal assistance to low-income Alaskans. The Program is funded through grants and contracts from federal, state, and local sources. Clients must be income eligible and must have a case that falls within case priority restrictions.

NO BULLY website
    This site is part of the Telecom/Police STOP BULLYING Campaign. Spot and Bo are here to show you around the site. You can hang out with Bo and his friends and play the No Bully game, and he's got lots of other useful stuff for kids. Spot can help you to find out about support services in your community and ways that adults can help kids to deal with bullying.

    This site originates in New Zealand but addresses a world wide problem. Telecom is the major sponsor of Police programs which help young New Zealanders to avoid becoming offenders or victims of crime. The programs encourage children and young people to act safely and confidently to protect themselves and their property, and avoid drug abuse. Telecom supports the Police because we recognize it is the responsibility of all New Zealanders to allow our children and young people to grow up in a safe and healthy environment.

    Child support money is owed to the parent who kept the family housed, clothed and fed for all those years. The CSE agency may be able to help your parent try to collect the past-due money. It would be up to the parent if he/she wants to - and can afford to - pass some of it along to you.

    If your family received public assistance for any of that period, the state is owed as well.

    States have statutes of limitations which may prevent full enforcement of the order, and some States can only collect arrears that accrued after the case was brought into the CSE program. State CSE agency web site links are available on our web site at the following location: http://www.acf.dhhs.gov/programs/cse/extinf.htm#exta

If you can't locate the parent of your child to establish or enforce a financial or child support order:

You should:

Contact the State Child Support Enforcement (CSE) agencies because they have access to information from state resources such as the Department of Motor Vehicles and the State Employment agency. They also can get information from the Federal Parent Locator Service (FPLS) which is a national network that provides address and employment information to the states. The Federal Parent Locator Service is used to locate parents to establish or enforce a child support order and to help find someone who has hidden the whereabouts of a child in violation of a custody or visitation order. The service is only available through the state/local State Child Support Enforcement program. Among the resources that the Federal Parent Locator Service can use are: The Social Security Administration, the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Defense, and the National Directory of New Hires (NDNH). Employers must now report hiring new employees to the state within twenty days. The state in turn sends that information, and information from the state unemployment office, to the National Directory of New Hires. This information is available to State Child Support Enforcement agencies throughout the country. A parent or an attorney can ask for "locate only" services through the state State Child Support Enforcement agency, but the Federal Parent Locator Service cannot give information directly to individuals. Your State Child Support Enforcement agency is the best source of information about state laws and practices and about your case. Links to the state State Child Support Enforcement websites are at: http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/cse/extinf.htm#exta

Or you can call the State CSE agency. State CSE agency telephone numbers and addresses are at: 

(English) http://ocse3.acf.dhhs.gov/int/directories/ext/IVd_list.cfm

(Spanish): http://ocse3.acf.dhhs.gov/int/directories/ext/Espanol_IVd_list.cfm

If your child and the custodial parent are nowhere to be found and you were not told that they would be moving: 

You should:

  • You can contact the Child Support Enforcement (CSE) office in the state that entered the custody/visitation order to ask how to proceed. One of the services of the Office of Child Support Enforcement is helping to locate children in parental kidnapping cases. 
  • Federal law allows the use of the Federal Parent Locator Service (FPLS) in parental kidnapping or child custody cases (including cases in which the custodial parent has hidden the child in violation of a visitation order) if: 

1) a civil action to make or enforce a custody order has been filed in the State courts; or 

2) a criminal custodial interference case is being investigated or prosecuted.

  • Requests for information from the  Federal Parent Locator Service in custody and parental kidnapping cases must come from a State Child Support Enforcement Agency. State Child Support Enforcement agency telephone numbers and addresses are at:
  • State Child Support Enforcement Agency Web Site Links

    States may collect a fee from people using the service to cover processing costs.
  • You might also want to contact the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Its address and toll free number are: National Center for Missing and Exploited Children 2101 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 550 Arlington, Virginia 22201 800-843-5678
