I’m pretty sure that if there’s parental consent, you can live with him. Just make sure that you’re making the right decision in doing so. You might need parent/s to sign a few papers or something though.

Bottom line as sad as it is, there is nothing your parents can do to stop you however you will upset them if you do… The law states that you can make your own mind up living with either one of your parent when you are just 12 years old, the other states that when you are 16 you can make your own mind up where you choose to live, re:police, your boyfriend could of ended up in trouble if you was having sex under age, he could of ended up on the sex affenders list for the reat of his life and time in prison… as I have said at the begining, should you make the leap and move in with your boyfriend you will end up tearing your family apart, so do think about it wont you.. getting married at 18, only you can make that choice, although it is a tad young.. I wish you all the best, chin up, before you know it you yourself will be in your 20…
