Question

Hi. I'm 17 and wanting to move out of my parents house. My parents say no, however I have a place to go, a job lined up, will still graduate highschool, and make good grades. I turn 18 in March. What are my options?

Answer

Three options:

1. Move out anyway and risk be prosecuted as a runaway.

2. Ask the court to emancipate you.

3. Wait until you turn 18.

Good luck!!
