Why do you want to do this?  I think that it has to come from her adopting you.  Your birth mother would have to relinquish parental rights.\n\nThis could create massive pain for your birth mother.  Just talk to you Godmother and let her know that in your heart you consider her your true mother,

yes you can.  Unfortunately that is one of the blips in Michigan law.  At 17 you think you know enough to move out of your parents house but they are still required to be responsible for you.\n\nI know you think you know everything... good luck to you

If you are under 18, your parents can sponsor you or be adopted by US citizens.\nIf you are over 18, you must marry a US citizen and have him/her sponsor you, or your employer can sponsor you.

Sorry, you're a minor. (I'm only 14) And as such you can't legally own anything. Now, as a parent as a custodian you could get some of that stuff, but in the end they would always have the final word on everything. (You don't really legal exist, your parents represent you) But even with a custodian you couldn't get the patents or copyrights you need under your own name. You could (if you had the money) hire a lawyer to represent you as an adult, but your parent would have to consent. As for bank accounts, you may be able to open a joint account with one of your parents. (I did) Personally, I'd wait a bit, maybe until you sixteen or so to get really serious. Talk to your parents about it (I know, that wouldn't be like you want, but that's life as a minor) I hope you do really well in all your future endevors.

Your mother may have a claim against your father, but you do not. It is a sad thing that your father did not support you, but you have no right to collect from him now that you are an adult!!

Well, of COURSE not - this is not a question of "right" and "wrong" .... it's a question of whether Emma can stand up for herself and cross over from child to adult.  (Whose "home" by the way ?)  If Emma is in her own home, then she is only "virtually a prisoner" if she chooses to be.  If she is still, at age 23, in her mother's home, then she has to deal with the fact that her mother makes the rules in her own household.  If Emma is living in mom's house, working, and NOT paying rent, utilities, and food to her mother, then she is completely subject to her mom's rules.  (So I suspect Emma is living in mom's home under "free" circumstances.)  Emma can't have it both ways - she doesn't get to be an adult and still live off her mother like she is a child.  It's one or the other.   She either gets out and lives on her own like an adult or she pays her mother fair market value for rent, fair market value for utilities, and $300-$400 for her contribution toward to grocery bill.  If she does one of those two things, she can demand her status as an adult.

No, unless you had you mother's permission.  \n\nNow, if she gave permission then it would be perfectly fine.

You don't actually gain any new rights.  However, you could get an attorney and try to become emancipated from your mother.  You would have to prove that you have extenuating circumstances, a means of financial support while still attending school and you would have to have someone willing to act as your guardian.

you can have a godmother/father if you are christened, the are meant to guide you through life and be there if anything happens to your parents. i dont think there is such thing as a godsister/brother

First of all, if your parents don't let you, you can't. You are a minor. You can get emancipated, but that is a long shot in the dark. Frankly, you should listen to your mother. Getting married is NOT the answer. If he loved you to begin with, he wouldn't have gotten you pregnant, asked you to sleep with him, or agreed to sleep with you. It is a respect issue, and he obviously doesn't respect you. You need to respect yourself! Listen to your mom.

You have to be 18.  If you're under that then you have to have an adult with you.

no. that might be state specific but after 18 that woman is an adult and can do as she pleases.

you can become emancipated from your parents, which something like divorce.  why don't you see a lawyer.  you'll probably need a ride from mom or pop.

If everything is in order between you and your mother, I see no reason why you couldn't venture off on your own!  Check the local laws and statues in your town.  Usually 18 is the adult age, but there are exceptions to the laws in some areas.  If you go live with a relative and you are "underage", then a guardianship contract would have to be amended by both partys, your parents and your live-in relatives or adult-head of house.  But I really don't think they will make a big thing out of just being one year away from adulthood for you, or anyone else, anywhere!  I say, just pack your bags, and with your mom's blessing, go off and find your destiny my child!  Have fun and stay out of trouble, ok?  LOL

Your parents have legal control until you go to court and become legally immancipated.  A court may not allow it, because you are not self-supporting and are not legally married to your boyfriend.  \n\nEither he steps up to be a man and marries you, you get a job and support that baby.... or you go home to your parents.\n\nYou need to consider all of the ramifications if your boyfriend dumps you, Honey.  It happens all the time!\n\nBest Wishes,\nSue
