can I move in with my friend if our parents say it's ok?

my Stepfather wants nothing to do with me and I just got told he doesn’t wanna support me anymore and my mother can’t do anything about it, she’s already let one of her children slip away before but I talked to them and told them about it and I can either move in with my dad who lives in austin or my friend who lives right down the street, the thing is I don’t want to leave my friends behind, and all I really need to know is what I need to do in order to legally move with my friend. were best friends but can I just move out and that’s that???

Answer #1

depending how old you are??? you could be emancipated is your friends mom okay with it? if so she could become your legal gardian I really dont know I have a feeling there would be like court stuff

Answer #2

a friend of mine did something similar, her parents didnt care what she did so they were ok with her moving out and her friends parents were ok with her moving in, and because everybody agreed, there was no court battle or anything, but thats because nobody (the school) really noticed. Her parents would sign whatever things she needed to be signed so nobody ever really knew that she didnt live there anymore. However, I don’t know how well that would hold up in a court, and there is no guaruntee that someone wont notice. depending on how old you are you could get away with it, if you are like 17 or something I dont think anyone will care but if you are like 14 then that will be difficult for people not to notice

Answer #3

go live with you dad you can visit your friend on weekends hope this helps

Answer #4

true. My boyfriend’s bestfriend moved in with him and his grandmother. His parents moved to Florida from NJ and he wanted to finish school, so he stayed. He gets things signed for school, faxing papers over, stuff like that. As long as you’re an older teen (he was 16) and everyone agrees to the move, it’ll be all good. The school most likely won’t notice.
Good luck. Tragically, my boyfriend’s grandmother died yesterday so now they both have to move in with his aunt, or wait until he’s 18 to keep the house.
