Teenager's Clothing Can't Travel Between Divorced Parents' Homes

Grandmother Buys Extra Clothes, Questions Detrimental Arrangement

  • An 18-year-old high school senior, living half-time with each of his divorced parents, is not allowed to take clothes bought by one parent to the other parent's house.
  • The teenager's grandmother, concerned about the situation, bought extra clothes so he could have new clothes at both houses.
  • The grandmother believes this arrangement is detrimental to any child caught between two households and is wondering how he will keep track of which clothes came from which house.
  • At 18, the grandson is legally an adult and could choose to stop this arrangement, but it might be best for him to stick it out until he graduates from high school.
  • The grandmother hopes he chooses to go away for college, where he will learn a new set of life skills, without the need to organize his life in this way and shuttle between two sets of parents.
