I'm sure you will not like living in a jail. You can't live in a jail unless you commit a crime anyway and if you do that then you'll have an even harder time finding a job and you'll just be set back even more. I know it sucks big time to still live with your parents. I understand that first hand but all I can tell you is do your best to find a job and stick with it and save as much of your money as you can. You can also check into any grant programs that can assist you with independent living.

I would contact your local domestic abuse organization/women's shelter to help you make a plan to leave. The safety of yourself and your kids is absolutely important. They can help you gather materials you will need before you leave (like records, identification, etc.)\n\nThey will also have advice on getting legal help as well. They can connect you to where you can protect yourself and your kids. They can help you prepare a restraining order and help you with the legal hoops. \n\nMental abuse is a bad influence on your children, it teaches them that it is okay to treat people like that and they can repeat that pattern when they become adults.

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

First it does not matter, you are under the laws of your state, so if your state does not allow you to leave home till 18, if you ran off to another state, you could still be brought back to your state by the police and face charges in Juv court.\n\nAlso in no state in the US can you sign a legal contract,\nrent a house, get electric power and so on,  so even if you moved out, you would need an adult to do all the legal contracts.\n\nThere are a few states that allow 17 yr olds to move out.

Well i no the state im in you have to be 16 years of age you need to prove to the court you have a job and a place to live otherwise your to young.. they need to see you can take care and support yourself without adults...which means you need to become a little adult.... call your local court house and they will tell you the law there but i bet its alot like the one where i live... good luck

Being sentenced to the home. Similar to house arrest. You can't leave the house, except maybe for work and/or appointments.

Legally they can't force you.  But since you will be 18, legally they are not responsible for you either.  Pick your battles.\n\nYou push the button to stay b/c you are 18, next thing you know they could start pushing you to pay rent, etc.\n\nPersonally, I would go on the vacation.  A week or two of time is far less than paying rent each month.

Get a lawyer. I believe a chid can decide which parent he/she wants to live with at the age of 13. Call an attorney and get a free consultation. Don't let this child live in an abusive household.

Yes, I moved out when I was 17.  If you can prove that you are both capable of supporting yourselves without welfare, there is nothing the law will do about it as long as you are not causing trouble because you are so close to legal age.  I had my well paying job for 2 years, had a house, a car that I had paid for,  and other factors that showed stability, so just be able to back up your case.\n\nEmancipation is expensive, and they take all of these factors into consideration. If you are "caught" and you are eligible for emancipation, they will go ahead and approve it without all of the court costs.

Sign yourself into a drug program ASAP.  The first thing you have to do is get real and get healthy so get help.  The court may see that you have taken the first step and rethink the jail time for as long as you are in treatment.

Yes, you can get "emancipated" from your parents and this is a situation in which the judge may grant in your favor.  Check these sites out and try and get more proof of your mom behavior for the courts.  \n\nI dont know what state you live in but in california you only have to be 14 to get emancipated from your parents.

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.

You don't. You would get caught sooner or later, the feds would see to that. You would then get prison time and a Dishonorable Discharge which will follow you your entire life. Do your time, get discharged honorably, and then move on with your life.

If you have very good reasons, then you can go to court and ask to be "emancipated". This means that that you would be considered an adult in your own right, and your mother would no longer be your guardian. \n\nHowever, consider first that your mother loves you very much, and you need each other. (Everyone needs a loving family member!)

yes, just divorce your parents and get legally emancipated.  your parents are stupid, they can't tell you what to do.  Go out on your own and succeed!!
