∙ 13y agoNo. Divorce is the legal dissolution of a marriage; unless you're married to that child, you cannot "divorce" them.
Children can be disinherited by specifically writing them out of the will. They may be able to contest the will, however, so you'd want to consult an attorney, and if they're under the age of majority they may be entitled to support anyway regardless of your wishes.
You can relinquish your parental rights under some circumstances, such as if someone else wants to adopt the child.

∙ 13y agoNo. Divorce is the legal dissolution of a marriage. If a child needs to be freed from the control and custody of their parent the child would need an adult advocate, a court order and placement as a ward with another adult as legal guardian. It would be a complicated legal process but would not properly be called a divorce.

∙ 8y agoDivorce is the dissolution of marriage, so, no. Once a child is emancipated (most states 18), there is generally no legal obligation to dissolve, you are both free to do as you wish. You have the legal right to require an adult child to leave your house as you would anyone else. You can completely disinherit an adult child, if so, you should hire a lawyer to draft your wishes correctly as there is a state presumption of inheritance that needs to be carefully overwritten.

∙ 7y agoAs stated below you cannot divorce your child. In all states except Louisiana a parent can disinherit an adult child as long as they follow state law requirements in drafting their Will. However, in some states children under 18 have special protections. You should discuss this issue with an attorney who specializes in probate law in your jurisdiction.

Who can claim a qualifying child for the EIC after divorce is not specified in divorce agreement?
The child that the child actually lives with for most of the year can claim the EIC on the child. If the divorce agreement specifies that a non-custodial parent can claim the child on his or her taxes, it does not mean that he or she can claim the EIC on the child. EIC is not granted in court orders. To claim EIC, you must pass the age, relationship, and residency requirements. If the child does not actually live with the non-custodial parent for most of the year than the non-custodial parent may NOT claim the child.
