You are a minor for another year and you can end up as a delinquent or your over 18 friends can be arrested for harboring you.

A person age 17 or older commits the crime of carnal knowledge of a juvenile by engaging in consensual oral, anal, or vaginal sex with a child between the ages of 13 and 17.

I am 17 year's old, I will be 18 next month in May. My father is my legal guardian but I want to move to my mothers due to my fathers mental, emotional, and verbal abuse. Can I move to my mothers without permission? If I do, what would the police do?

You have already asked this question. My advice was to move into your mother's home and report your father's physical abuse to the police.
(Louisiana)My dad is very mentally, emotionally, and verbally abusive. He is manipulative, and a narcissist. He doesn't take care of himself. I cook his meals every day, i wash his clothes, and clean his house cause he is too lazy. The house is falling apart, I don't think it will even... View More

Go move in with your mother and report any domestic violence by your father to the police.
Suppose to be notified before any court proceedings take place and if so how should parents be notified of petition filed

You should be notified by mail. If you weren't, then hire a juvenile court lawyer quickly.
I like this girl and she's gonna be 20 soon and I'm only 17 I would like to know so I wouldn't get her in trouble if we was together
answered on Feb 7, 2021
You would not get her in trouble IF:
1) you get a Gardasil shot so that she doesn't give you penile cancer,
2) you use birth control so that you don't have to support a child for 18 years.

No, you are still considered a minor by law. You can jump out into the world and all of its accompanying responsibilities as an adult once you are 18. Until then, you could consult with a family law attorney to discuss emancipation, but that process would likely take you through your 18th... View More

You can move out without parental consent in 3 months. In the mean time, try to graduate from high school so you can get a job that pays more than minimum wage.
