Moving out at 16 in PA

Can I legally move out of my house with my parents, to live with my 18 year old boyfriend? He would be living in his own apartment/house. Would it be possible to move without being emancipated?

Answer #1

My mom is so stupid OMG she Thinks I can’t do anything by myslef. She gets mad for my bed not being clean. she doesn;t want me to have a boyfriend until am a senoir and when school starts im going to be a freshman.

Answer #2

I wud advise you not 2 do it until you are at least 17. Because whether your parents place charges against him or not by you being under 18 it is bad and he can be charged. and plus whats the big rush any way. But if your parents are not there for you and your boyfriend is taking care of you, there is a way that you can go through the system and have the right and be judged2 c if its okay…its hard 2 explain

Answer #3

You can’t legally move out. It’s technically running away. Your parents can call the cops, and have you shipped back to their house if you do. I know, because I was going to try that with my boyfriend, until my parents threatened me. Now if they kick you out, that’s a different story. But they could possibly arrest your boyfriend because your 16 and he’s 18…and the U.S. government is stupid, and has dumb laws about rape and all that good junk.
