She can apply for emancipation. which will make her a legal adult.  But she does seem too young for you.  She probably thinks you are the way out of the hell she is in.  It sounds like the baby would be better off elsewhere, and not with you.  You like the young ones right?

18 in every state. You are technically an adult at that point in every sense (except drinking, renting cars or hotel rooms) and it is a violation of your privacy.

legally when your 18. At that time you can enter into contracts legally, and your responsible for your own actions and mom and dad can finally kick you out of the house.

Check with local probate court if there is such a legality.  If child is a very responsible person, might be okay, unless that child is babysitting babies.  You know your child better than anyone.  How long would parents be out?  Most children that age are too immature to be left alone.

18 (when you become an adult)

Best advice is to talk to a family law attorney.  You'd have to prove that you'd be better off on your own than with your parents/guardian.  It's pretty tough to do, unless you can prove abuse or neglect and can prove that you have the means in which to support yourself, such as a trust fund that you would get when you turned 18, etc.  They're not too keen on emanicapting minors if it means you would have to get a full time job to survive.  You'd just wind up in foster care until 18.

18. Period, he's a legal adult.

I believe in the state of texas it is legal for a 17 year old to move out. Call the court house to find out though. also look into Legal Emancipation.\nPS-living outside of your parents place is not cheap, health insurance is expensive, dental ins, car ins, gas prices, cell phone bill, electricity (i live north of dallas in Denton (college town)) 1 bedroom apartment kept at 85 degrees during the summer ran about 90 bucks a month, at least. I am sure you dont want to live in one of the shit-hole All bills paid places where you can here your neighbors argue, also dont forget rent prices and food. FOOD can cost alot!\nALSO, to move into your own place (roomates cause legal problems) you will need a cosigner, meaning your parents may need to sign your apartments lease. seeing how Houston tends to get some smacking from hurricanes and such you may want renters insurance.\n\nOh yeah, "Dont forget to bring a towel"

depends on where you live cause I know in Texas you can move out at 17 and your parents can't do anything about it.

Whether it is or not, you obviously need to get an education before you strike out on your own. You can't spell legal and should have said you're.  How do you expect to support yourself at 15 anyway?  If it's dangerous at home for you then seek help, but don't just leave.

lairdrohan's answer is 100% correct and you may rely on it, as a general rule.\n\n"In Nevada, as in all states, you are considered to be an adult at age 18. This is also known as the age of majority. NRS 129.010."

It will fall under Alabama law. Don't know what the age is though.

It is the mother's parental right to make any new boyfriend's life hell.  Now, what age were you when you signed it?  If you were under age, then technically no, it can't be legal.  I don't know the age at which she/you are considered adults in your own community.  When she turns 18, will she be living at home or move out?  If she lives at home, mom's/dad's house rules apply.  OR, maybe certain terms can be negotiated with her parents.  Good Luck!

no your not legally an adult until your 18 and not only could your parents put him in jail but so can the state because he is messing with a minor.
