Is there any legal way for a 17 year old girl to move out without it costing, besides emancipation?

NOOOOOOOOO! it is not your obligation. you need to have some tough love with this child! Lay down the rules, and tell her that if she can't live with these rules that she is 20 years old and is free to move out. You are babying her! If you don't help your daughter find confidence in her abilty to take care of herself she may live with you FOREVER!!! or at least rely on you each time she is "down and out"

Whichever state you are in, age does not matter. If you want to move out on your own before age 18, you must go through an emancipation program and successfully complete the requirements etc. But if you do leave and you're a minor, when the police get a report that you've left without your parent's permission, you will be reported as a runaway and will possibly be sent to a juvenile detention center.

A 17 year old could move away from home if they have their parents’ or legal guardian’s permission, like to go to college. Or, a 17 year old could become legally emancipated and enjoy the same freedoms as any other person who is at least 18 years old. In some states, emancipation is automatic if the 17 year old gets married. It could also be ordered by the courts.

Why do you want to? Can you support your self? Are you still in school? If you had good reason to be emancipated then you would have been through the courts already. Something would have occurred to cause it without any of your doing. Think twice because by the time you might accomplish it, if you do, you will probably be 18 anyway. Call social services in your area. It,s in the phone book.

Yes, he can get in trouble. Depending on the Age of Consent in your state, which I believe it is 18, and with him being 25, you are a minor. You would need to Emancipate yourself to move out. Not sure what you would need to do, but if it is something like abuse, you need to talk to a school councilor. \nIf it is because your Mother will not let you see this guy, then I am afraid there might not be much you can do...

grow up-get a job-pay your own rent. Then you can keep your sister out of your room.

None. But if you want to be totally independent you need to move out.

Yes, but your 17, and self-suficient, check with your local authorities or Legal Aide Society, you can probably be legally emancipated.

It's called "emancipation."  And the court has to order it.  You have to get a lawyer and prove that you can take care of yourself, and that your parents are not doing their job as parents.  It's not easy to do.

YES your daughter can depending on your state and her age  either you need to get a lawyer or a child's advocate, your daughter   "Motion  The Court" for what is an "Emancipation" against her father with what your telling me it should be granted, this is what children do, it is another way of being set free from there parents or a parent, go on the Internet and check it out, GOOD LUCK also most people don't need lawyers to do this but you may need one, I am also telling you it would be best that you allow you daughter to do this on her own of course go with her but as far as you going in to the lawyer or court room no the reason are this it is up to her and her choice that way no one will say you made her do this even thought they will anyways, Hallmark made a movie called "into the night about just this" try to get or contact me email and I will help you get the movie very helpful

Hon, you need to talk to a lawyer or a judge.  Do some investigation on the forms you need to fill out and where to file them.  Tell the judge your story and have your ducks in a row, a job, a place to live, show you are responsible for yourself and you  can make it on your own.  Then you may be able to emancipate yourself.  Know that being an adult stinks make sure its what you want to do.  May I suggest making sure you finish school and apply for financial aid to get you into a college dorm.  You'll love it.  I promise.

the only way is to be emancipated but you need an attorney and by the time the case is up you will probably be 18 anyway.  Unless you are being abused physically or sexually your problems probably aren't that bad.  You will be fine.

They couldn't possibly be just trying to prove a point, could they?  His parents are the ones responsible for bringing him into the world, so how can they justify making him responsible for preparing him to be self-sufficient?  There is no way they can collect on that bill; parents are legally responsible for their children's welfare until the age of 18.  They can legally kick him out of their house now that he's 18.  If I was your friend, I would move out as soon as possible, and try to make his parents understand their responsibilities.

I think you need to be legally "emancipated" because otherwise, your parents would still be responsible for you (and liable for any thing you do) until you're 18.  You can check with the local social services department on the process of becoming an emancipated minor.

You're an adult at 18 in any state in the union.  You can sue for emancipation before that, but you'll need a lawyer.
