A: I agree with my colleague. Additionally, it may depend on who has legal custody of the minor. It may be best to contact an attorney who can assess the specifics of your circumstances and provide you with a more detailed response.

We wish you well.

A: Only if you have the consent of your parent/guardian. At 15, you have to live where your parent or guardian says. If one parent agrees and the other does not, then it can’t happen. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558
