My stepson is on probation for a minor altercation until he is 18. He is now 17 years and 9 months old. The probation department knows he has been thrown out of school but does not want to intervene as he is almost 18. They do not want to go back before a judge because they believe it will be embarrassing. He is not doing anything except staying out and having fun. Legally, can I throw him out of my house now or do I have to wait until he is 18?

My ex, who has a history of felonies including battery against an unborn child and felony bad check, is currently in jail for felony grand theft. He has been in jail for 26 days, and a State Attorney was only assigned to his case 4 days ago. His bond was initially set at $5000, then reduced to $500, and finally to $400. However, he was refused ROR (Release on Recognizance) 2 days ago, and now the court has ordered him to take a psychological test. Why might this be?
