hella tight Asked by dirtyxlilxindian over 2 years ago, 3 answers.

I will be 16 soon. I plan to drop and get my GED. I dont think my mom will agree with me to move out but I feel it will be the best for me. Me and my brother fight way to much. my boyfriend's mom said she will take me in and I can take my GED classes...

there. I will be cared for and have food shelter and clothing...but will I be able to move out or can I just leave???

Legally, you must be the 'age of majority' for your state (usually 18) or become emancipated:

Emancipation refers to the point at which a child is free from parental control.

Emancipation may be the result of a voluntary agreement between the parents and child, or it may be implied from their acts and ongoing conduct. For example, a child who leaves her parents' home and becomes ENTIRELY SELF-SUPPORTING without their objection is considered emancipated, while a child who goes to stay with a friend or relative and gets a part-time job is not. Emancipation may also occur when a minor child marries or enters the military.

In order to become emancipated you must be able to answer the above questions and be self supporting which means:
- Have a job
- Live in home or apartment
- pay bills

Contact the Court office or a Professional Attorney in your immediate area for further assistance.

I wish you the best !!

At age 16, the police normaly will not come after you, you havent run away, your not lost, or in danger, you are just disobeying your parents.
