Since emancipation’s been mentioned…the purpose of emancipation is not to allow a minor the ability to go live with a friend.  Emancipation requirements vary by state, but at a minimum you would have to prove that you are capable of fully supporting yourself—paying for rent, utilities, food, medical expenses, etc—with NO assistance from anyone.  So living with a friend and depending on them for even partial support/help/assistance isn't going to cut it.  AND you would have to provide the court with a valid reason that emancipation would be in your best interest.  You didn’t state your reason, but IF it involves things along the lines of just not getting along with your parents or wanting more freedom that’s not a valid reason.  Even if you meet all the requirements the court can still deny emancipation for any reason that they see fit, including, but not limited to, their belief that you lack the maturity to function as an adult.  Emancipation is not a quick or easy process and more often than not it is denied.\n\nOf course, your parents can give you permission to live with a friend, provided it’s a safe and appropriate environment.  That friend, however, is not going to be able to do things such as enroll you in school, consent to your medical care, etc unless they have some type of temporary custody.

Most often, teens still live at home in the care of their parents.\nThey are not considered adults by society or by law.\n\nTo become a parent in this situation, someone who is still considered a child, now has a child to raise of their own.

Living in a dorm all the way.\n\nIt is important to learn the skills of living on your own before you are completely thrust out to live on your own. People grow up faster in my experience if they have to live in the dorms. Plus that way there is no commute and you have quick access to all the educational and social resources. Be careful about spending too much time with friends and making poor decisions. Those can come back to bite you without your parents looking over your shoulder. Act like a responsible adult and you should be fine.

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.

why are you living there in the first place???\n\nsounds like you have a problem.\n\nfirst, you should be grateful to them for giving you a place to live.\n\nsecond, you should get your stuff and try to find a relative or family member you can stay with.\n\nthird, eat crow and apologize to his family and ask for their forgiveness, if you were being a brat at THEIR house.\n\ntake care

Read your divorce decree or custody documents.  There should be a clause in there that pertains to where the child is to reside.

What you need to keep in mind is that moving into someones home especially a womans home that has children is that the children will be affected. You need to be prepared to become a part of their lives, and understand that you will have more than just their mother to consider if you leave. This is a huge step and it is one that the two of you should discuss not only with each other but with the children (if they are old enough) they should have knowledge of this beforehand and some say so in the move. You also need to talk about what role you will be playing in their lives what about discipline...babysitting...bills...ect. Its a lot to think about and something you need to seriously consider before jumping in.

None.  As a Minor, you have the right to listen to you parents, go to school, study and do what other kids are doing:  learning the skills and info needed to become contributing members of society.  Regardless of country of origin, unless your parents had their rights stricken, they are presumed to be competent and raising you properly. \n\nYou should thank you parents for caring enough to be interested in your life.  I've been on my own since 17 years old, (I am now 28) and I wish I could have had my mom that interested in my life.  Now, with my parents passing, I am left to remember those times.\n\nLegally, as long as you are an unemancipated minor, you get to either follow their rules, or get punished.  Should you rebel by skipping school and such, you will be forced to attend, if noy locked away, forcibly schooled and otherwise regulated until you reach adulthood.\n\nTo become emancipated, at least generally in the US, you need to prove that you are both able to take care of yourself financially, scholastically and generally.  Quite hard, considering most kids get paid crap, don't like to save, and can not be trusted to go to school for themselves.\n\nAgain, give your folks a big hug and a kiss and thank them for taking a proactive stand in your life.

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.
