View Full Version : Strange question, I know
Thing is, I want to know if anyone knows if there is a legal way to disconnect yourself from your family. To actually be classed as having no family, no relatives.
I know this may sound strange to most of you, as most families are happy (sort of) and love each other really.
So does anyone know if this is possible? :confused:
Which one is this time. The insane woman who keeps telling everyone she is your mother, or psycho sister?
shoot them all, it's not legal but it solves the "I have no family" / "disconnected from family" dilemma
I'm serious. I want to seperate from my ****ing family completely.
Sorry to be flippant Hayley, I did do a darn good search on the net and found little information. I would talk to a divorce lawyer, they would have the best advice.
Yeager, thanks. I didn't take your comment as flippant. :) I've just come to the end of coping with the shit from my family. I know most people wouldn't understand and see it as a temporary spat, but I have had to put up with this for so many years. :mad: I want to finish it once and for all, then maybe I won't keep letting it eat away at me.
As for shooting them all, I've thought about it but the problem is I have morals. :mad: :mad: :mad: Damn. :mad: :mad: :mad:
I remember quite a few years back some kids divorced thier parents in the states
Hayley,
Sounds like bad sh!t to me Honey. Sorry. Not sure how you go about a legal disassociation but when I split from my Partner of 15 years just recently, my Father automatically became my next of kin and I had to instruct a Solicitor to make sure that my younger Sister is named as my beneficiary (from the stand point of my pensions, house, life assurance policies etc.) and effectively my next of kin. I suppose that kinda disassociates me from my Dad from a legal stance. From a non-legal stance it's easier...caller display I find is a must have.
Obviously my legal next of kin is Andy (not that I have anything to leave, except my car and I'm being buried in that :D ). It's just the 'getting them completely out of my life' bit that I want.
I remember that kid in America, but he was a minor. I don't know how it would stand with me being an adult (legaly if not mentally :rolleyes: ).
Damn my concience. :mad:
I'm sure it must be possible. I've definitely read of persons (adults) being disassociated from their Parents, for example, so as not to be responsible (upon their death) for their Parents' debts etc. Worth a free legal sesh with the CAB perhaps just to sound things out. Best of luck with it.
Thanks. I'll look into it. :)
can't you just change your telephone number and tell then that you don't want anything else to do with them.....
you could always get a restraining order, preventing them from coming near you.....
I could. But I want it to be a bit more final than that.

It's not harassment that's the problem. It that I don't want to be legally classed as their relatives anymore.
:(
There probably is a way to do it, not very common though. I would imagine that you would have to go through some tortous legal process costing a small fortune.
Personally, I'd go with the ignore policy (worked well enough for me and my grandparents).
I think that after a period of time you can not be held legally responsible for anything - although I think that is about 15 years.
Or something like that.
Hvae a word with CAB and see what they come up with :(
Not many people realise that if both partners die at the same time ( ie in the same car crash ) the law takes it that the older person in the relationship dies first. The younger person would then inherit all of their partners stuff. But as the younger person then dies straight after, the youngest persons next of kin would inherit everything. If you've already covered this in your will then all is ok.
It doesn't help you not being classed as a relative, but it stops them getting anything from you.

In what way are you legally associated with them, Hayley? Yup, they are your relatives, but that's more a fact of life than law. You're an adult, so they have no legal power or hold over you, and Andy is your benificiary.
What could be changed, and what would change??
