im 17 turning 18 in january can I move out

my my mother and I are constantly fighting its never physialy abusive but its stressful. she always tells me to get the F* out and then throws it in myface that I would be a runaway. I have many friends that are willing to tak me in but they want me to finish school and play almost a legal gardian roll in my life. so emancipation would really not be an easy thing because I would not be self sufficent . making it very difficult to leave . is there any way a little less painful way that ican leave or am I damned to spend another 3 1/2 months in hell?

Answer #1

You can move out off your parents house but you need too get a job frist,because one’s you are out there it will be veryveryvery expensiff,my friend,

Answer #2

I’m a parent trying to find out if it is legal for my 17 yr. old to move out 2 months prior to turning 18 meaning she will be 18 in aug. I live in wisonsin my daughter is looking toward june is this possible or does she have to be exact 18 .

Answer #3

I’m not sure what to tell you about how to deal the 3 1/2 months. but at least you’ll be able to move out after that time. time passes by fast and once they go by you will be free to do whatever you want. of course this means more responsibility.

you should get a job to pay for rent or something. and if you’re planning on going to college they do have loans that can help you pay it off. I’m sorry that you and your mother don’t get along but maybe you’re better off. sorry if I wasn’t much help

Answer #4

According to the law you are still a child for these last 3 1/2 months so yes you have to stay once you turn 18 you are an adult in their eyes and then you can leave. You def would not be able to do an emanicpation now because it can take longer than a year for that. Just stick it out for these last months. I had trouble while living with my parents and the only way I solved it was well not being there or if I was there then I stayed in my room the whole time. So for now I would join some activities at school and get a job if you dont have one…any excuse to be out of the house. On the weekends stay with your friends. Start looking for apartments now though that way your all set in january.

Answer #5

oh abselutely your still a child and shouldnt be worrying about leaving home ok take it from me enjoy still living at home even tho it isnt always easy but believe me LIFES HARD OUT THERE AND ONCE your OUT your PARENTS HOME ULL WISH TO GO BACK IF you CANT AFFORD TO STAY BY URSELF
