For whatever reason, the Girhippo wants YSS (HousesHitter 18.5) to emancipate without a full time job and without being out of the house.  As a refresher, CS automatically goes to age 21 no matter what the "child" is doing.  There are very few specific emancipation events that meet the criteria BEFORE age 21.  This is not one of them and the Gir should know that having been in the CPS biz, foster parent counseling, etc. etc.

While visiting my DIL and DGD this weekend over in the Buffalo area, yet another local news story pops up about how an SD (3 in fact) bought her stepDAD a classic car that he had his eyes on.  She goes on to praise her stepdad and someone who "stepped up" (overused cliche alert) blah blah blah.  And yes her bio dad is still living.

In fact, all through social media and YouTube videos are stories such as this but you'd be hard-pressed to find it in the reverse.  HMMMMM I wonder why?? (rhetoric tags OFF)

If you know my backstory,  it was always Chef's assertion that his kids were athletic because HE was.  LOL   

They actually inherited the Gir's genes (clumsiness) who was in colour guard and that was it.   They were entrolled by the Gir in every.activity.under.the.sun including a wide array of sports.  All were merely social events for the ferals and an opportunity to showboat to the extreme... and NOT for athletic ability...only for sheer clownery and attention seeking,.

As a refresher, the Girhippo is trying to emancipate YSS (18.5) " prematurely" for unknown ulterior reasons as our wonderful State goes to age 21.

According to her written statement it does not look as though YSS is emancipated under New York State guidelines.

She has almost always gotten her way in court so I'm just hoping the Magistrate by some divine intervention will let her have her way.

Unlikely though because New York State likes its Federal kickbacks to the CSEU.  The Girhippo has been on the CS payroll for 17 loooooooooooonnnnnnnng years as of 7/27.
