Answer #1

I think it depends on what state. My boyfriend is going through the same thing. A bunch of cops said he didnt have to go back because his mom kicked him out yet the police officer his mom called made him go back. So I have no idea. Sorry. :(

Answer #2

That also means you may be tried as an Adult.

Answer #3

It really pertains what state you live in. Some states are 17, others are 18,19 etc. Before you move out, make sure you have a good paying job, money enough to buy groceries, pay rent & utilities, and a small amount of cash. Might want to think long & hard before you move out. LIving at home might be a piece of cake. Living on the street or w/someone isn’t always the best way to go. In other words the grass isn’t always greener on the other side of the fence!

Answer #4

If you are emancipated.
