Minor Parent Non-residency: This evidence captures the details about a period of time when a minor parent does not reside with his/her parents or an adult relative. A minor parent is a parent who is under 18, has never been married and has care of a minor child. Reasons why a minor parent may not reside with his/her parents or an adult relative include where the physical and/or emotional health of the minor parent and/or child are jeopardized, parents/guardians are deceased etc.
A minor parent living alone without a good cause may be subject to sanctions which can result in the loss of certain benefits. Example A case worker creates a Minor Parent Non Residency record for Susan Smith. Susan Smith is a minor parent, she is 17 years of age and has a dependent child. It is not in Susan Smith's best interest to live with her parents as it is an abusive household. |
