Can I legally leave home at age 15?

Question

My relationship with my parents was destroyed 2 years ago. They were too harsh bercause I got in troubles many teens get. Showed no understanding, no mercy. I hardly talk to them, can't lovehem. Today I`m considered a very wise and good girl, even in my parents opinion. I'm an homor student, and take part in several healthy activities including a volunteering one. I love my grandma, mom of my dad, she's a wonderful person, loves me, underdstands me and agrees my parents, especiall her son, were too harsh on me. She's my angel, the person I like most, She's a widow and asked me to move in, if my parents agreed. This is a wondeful idea, a win win solution. My parents would get rid of me, I'd be living w/ someone who loves me and we could help each other. She'll even pay for my school, a big deal to my dad. But they don't agree, want to keep me home. I don't deserve such punishment, I had enough 2 years ago. They say they can't give me up. I'll end up hating them.

My parenbts dont think I'll mess up if I live w/ my granma, but say they love me and I need their guidance. I have a lil bro I love, but I'll see him every week

Answer 1

yes but you need a judge to emancipate you, but no judge will at such a young age without something to go on other than they treat me bad

Answer 2

You can't legally move out and you could be considered a runaway. Depending on the state you live in then your Grandmother could be guilty of harboring a runaway. The best thing is to keep talking to them about it. Ask them for a trial period, if you aren't doing better with your Grandmother at the end of the trial then you agree to move back home.

Answer 3

first of all look at your question again and you will see it does not make sense you got in troublr what kind of trouble then you go on and on about the grandmother like she is the virgin mary but your parents dont seem to agree and what does your little brother have to do with this or is he your little brother get honest with yourself and then you will know what to do right now you are playing games with us so you will not get the right answer lies dont work. so take it from there and you will know what to do. i hope. you are a very mixed up individual that needs professional help ask the grandmother to help you with some therapy.

Answer 4

Find out what your legal age is in your state.

From there, you may be able to change your status.

Your Grandparent may be able to gain custody of you, or, maybe you can just live with them, WITH your parent's permission.

Your parent's were raised by their parents, so obviously, your grandparents know what they are doing.

HOWEVER, if your grandparents take custody, OR your parents allow you to live there with their permission, they SHOULD pay child support.

I have been where you are. And worse.

Sometimes, it's just a fact of reality, where parents are not the right people to raise their teenage children. Not that they are "bad parents", it just don't work right.

If you want, email me (or contact me through Answers) to let me know hwo it goes.
