Can I move out at 17?

No, you cannot legally move out without your parent's consent. So, you will have the police searching for you if you run away.

And if your boyfriend is 18 or over, he will be arrested, and prosecuted for taking you to another state.

You're to young. Your mother knows what's best for you.

There is no legal option of moving out. So don't.

You're young, and immature.

You are not considered of age until you turn 18 and must be supervised by a legal adult guardian.

Not without permission. If your BF is over 18, he can be arrested for bringing a minor over state lines.

Saying you will be 17 in six months means you just turned 16 six months ago. Putting a spin like that on your age doesn't make you any older.

Yes, your mother can report you as a runaway.

And I sincerely doubt that you and boyfriend have the funds to move across the street - much less out of state.

At least - graduate from high school before you do silly things - or you will be begging mom to take you back in a few months.

You an move out at 16 in Canada, but the US is different.

You can not legally sign any binding contract since you're not 18. No landlord will rent to you. If your boyfriend is over 18 and actually manages to get a landlord to rent to him, he will stand being evicted if you doesn't add you to the lease.

I agree with Rob. Stay at home. There is no real rush to get out of the house unless you are in some kind of danger, and you didn't state that, so I doubt there is any. It sounds like you and your mom disagree on things. That's common with teenagers and parents.

If you honestly think you can make it, start researching how much it costs to live on your own. Rent, car insurance (if you have a car), food, electricity, phone bills, internet. Oh on top of it do you want to finish school? So how do you plan to finish school, work, pay bills, and make it? All those bills that your mom pays, you will have to pay, ones that I am sure you may not think twice about because you don't see the bills. Ask your mom to show you what it costs to be an adult.

I also imagine your mom would file a runaway report or a missing persons report on you if you do leave, so yes if you leave, and the police find you, they will take you back to your mom.

If you get permission from your parents. Try and move out. Then you will see how much you actually need them.

here only place u can move out to is

homeless shelters, friends , family places

as no landlord can legally rent to u.

as for your ententions GO volunteer 6 months at

a Women's homeless shelter to see what your

life can/will be in 10-5 yrs.

BE Decades smarter than u think u are,

stay home ,

get an education that pays 30,000$yrly and better,

Work 2- 3yrs and save up.

IF IF IF boyFriend is still around then conmsider moving in

after married and ony IF has done the above info.

at 38 , u will be amazed at how little u actually knew at 17.

You would have to be emancipated from your mother - this would dissolve her from any legal responsibility for you, including ever taking you back or giving you one cent. If you have a college fund, you can kiss that goodbye.

Emancipation is rarely granted save for situations of abuse or abandonment. The courts rightly don't take kindly to self-absorbed 16 year olds who think that they can survive by themselves - they'll ask for proof of financial independence too.

I want to move out I will be 17 in 6 months and me and my boyfriend want to move out of state but my mom will not allow it. Is it legal for me just to leave at 17 or will the police bring me home.
