The court makes that determination. Your mother would have to file with the court to ask for a change. The court will take your desire into account, but might not agree to the change.

You are 18. You are legally an adult. You can make your own decisions now about everything. But, please, don't just drop out of school, enroll yourself where you are planning to move.

The school can impose conditions on allowing re-enrollment. You can choose not to comply, but then find another school. Use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local attorney familiar with civil rights and school cases.

If you move out, would you still have health insurance coverage, car insurance? Do you have... View More

You can, but unless there is illegal activity, the police are unlikely to do anything. An 18 year old is no longer a minor, and can do what they want.

Talk to his school about the situation. Kids usually get over the separation issue quickly, and if they don't, the school can find ways to help. Keeping him at home is probably not the best answer for him, and children are required to receive proper schooling.

Contact child and family services. Also contact any local agencies and charities that provide family counseling and assistance. They may have recommendations. The legal system might not have an answer unless she gets into real trouble. Keep at it.

Yes, they can put you on probation. But dropping out is not the solution. Do not drop out. Are your parents talking to the school principal? Can you transfer to another school?
