Answer #1

Legally:

  1. find out the ‘age of majority’ in your state (Most 18)

  2. find out the requirements for filing for ‘emancipation’ in your state

Answer #2

i assume your parents have custody over you, if thats the case then yes it is illegal. (unless you have their permission) Otherwise either your sister needs to have custody over you or you would have to be emancipated from your parents.

Answer #3

no its not illegal unless she doesnt want to take custody of you but if she does hey have fun with your sis
