There is no legal way to get out of your home.
Another way for you/ but I strongly do not recommend it/ is :leave the school,find a job and ask the court to be emancipated.
Or... try to convince your mother of that it will be better for her and you if you are allowed to move to your grandmother's home.
Okayy.. well thanksss... I'm meant they did tell me to leave yesturday... but my mom made me come back to do dishes... which madee no sense at all... u know?? :(
Who are they?To leave what?. Honestly-I do not know!Quote:

In the meantime, "everyone" tells you you can move out at 16 - ? Who is "everyone?"
You can't without the approval of your mother. It's that simple.
Threads should be combined.
Uhm okayy thankss? /
Uhm how?? Ill be 18?. ill be an illegal adult?.
At 18 you are an adult, but you're not 18 now, you're 17. At your age you need the approval of your mother.
Will you have the finances to move out at 18?
Actually your mom may be right. Me research turned up phrases like "a parent is responsible for a child 18 years of age or younger" and a child is emancipated "when they reach 18 AND finish high school".Quote:

If you want to move in with your father, he has to file a motion in Family Court to change custody. YOU cannot choose, but a court is likely to go along with your preference, but your father has to bring the action.
P.S. I merged your threads, please post your questions only once.
Okay well I have been back and forth between the both of them... & really I can't take it anymore... id rather live with my father he actually takes care of me.. and feeds me... but out of it all id rather live with my grandmother... yes , I know that I cant... but my dad and mom both have parshel custody... so what would the court do then??
We don't know what a court will do. The court will probably order an evaluation of the home situation for both parents. They will listen to what your preferences are and then make a decision based on what it determines to be your best interests.
Okaayy.. well thank you!! Sooo much!!
I am 17 years old. & I live in pittsburgh pa...

Like everybody gave you like a good answer. Sooo, umm you could like take those aswers and roll with it.
Mkayy?
Thankkss!!
Being an adult and moving out means YOU have to pay your own way... that means coming up with a security deposit... rent, have the means to pay for utilities... food, etc...
You have to have extra money for emergencies... medical insurance... and if you have a car... insurance, fuel, repairs etc...
Sure it sounds like a great idea if you think someone else is going to foot the bill... but as an adult... YOUR assume ALL those responsibilities.
And if you think its going to be easy to get a job that pays enough with ZERO experience... fresh out of school. Then think again. Until you have earned skills that have value in the workplace... you will be at the bottom of the pay scale. Your pay is in line with the real value you have for the employer. It takes education and experience to gain that... until then you are a warm body that can easily be replaced, and command less pay.
That might come as a shock... but that's how life works... its also known as paying your dues.
And being in high school or even college and having no real responsibilities is NOTHING like having to support yourself in the real world.
Don't pay your rent they evict you, don't pay your utilities and they turn them off. Don't have money for food... you don't eat (unless you know where a shelter is).
Life can be harsh... or great. It is what you make it. So don't make it any harder by being self absorbed, You open doors to opportunity based on what you have to offer... and conversely you slam them shut when you start in on what you demand. Don't put yourself at a disadvantage by taking the wrong attitude.
I worry about posters who want to move out, can support themselves - and post "parshel" custody. I don't know how people expect to get hired.
Says something about the level of education in the US, also.
