Can a 14 year old legally move out?

Asked by bigcitydreams 8 months ago, 8 answers.

So my best friend who is 14 doesn't get along with her grandparents. She wants to move in with me and my parents would let her but we don't know if she can legally do that, because we doubt her grandparents would let her. (And by the way, I know some of...

you will say its normal to not get along with you parents/family, so get over it, but this is really different, the way they treat her just isn't right!)

If her grandparents legally have custody of her, she cannot move out until they allow her, or until she turns 18. If her parents have custody of her, and they allow her to move out, then she can.

XXXrayneXXX's right. It's against the law and your parents could go to jail, but if somehow her grandparents give legal custodity to your parents then it's fine.

I really hate to say this, but no it is If there is something wrong with the way they treat her then your parents should know if it will hurt her and if it will then they can file a petition on the grandparents, or they can call DHR. That is really all you can do for her.I am really sorry I cant be of better help.

I say you should call probate court and have your parents consider getting guardianship of your friend...they will say no and that its impossible because its not family who the minor will be living with but trust me its possible.

she could get out of there if she was to get an annulment from you family making you your own legal guardian

it all depends if the grandparents own her or not. if not your friend has to go to cort and go beforth a judge and they will grant you to do that if she proves she can do it. but there is a lot of work and persuasion you need to make in front of the judge. but if you have to you have to!
