Q: Is there anyway for a 17 year old to move out without consent? Besides emancipation?
I am 17 and turning 18 in about 10 months. My mom and I have never had a good relationship and I want to move out as soon as possible. Waiting another 10 months sounds like hell and my parents don't allow me enough freedom to even get proof I could be emancipated. Is there anything I could do? Maybe run away, if that's not a crime? Please help me I am reaching my edge.
A: No, not really. Just wait until you are 18. Convince your parents that you need to get a job so that you can to save money to have a place to live and pay your own bills by the time you are 18.
