    Dad, your daughter is considered an adult by law. Since we don't know the history of the problems your daughter has been experiencing, I suspect that this was the last straw for your ex to have done something so final. I know that it is a heartbreaking situation, but it sounds like your ex is trying to teach her a tough love lesson by forcing her to take responsibility for her actions and her life. You need to support both your ex and your current girlfriend on their stance. If you give your daughter an easy out such as living with you, she will not learn to change her ways.

    If she is stealing due to a drug problem, you might want to research some rehab clinics in your area and attempt to get her enrolled. If that isn't the problem and she isn't going to University, she should be working and earning a living as a responsible person does. So, what you can do for her is to help her find a job and a place she can afford to pay on her own to live in. It may just open her eyes to seeing that her parents are not going to always bail her out for the rest of her life, and that she is the person who is ultimately responsible for her survival.
