Yes, I moved out when I was 17. If you can prove that you are both capable of supporting yourselves without welfare, there is nothing the law will do about it as long as you are not causing trouble because you are so close to legal age. I had my well paying job for 2 years, had a house, a car that I had paid for, and other factors that showed stability, so just be able to back up your case.
Emancipation is expensive, and they take all of these factors into consideration. If you are "caught" and you are eligible for emancipation, they will go ahead and approve it without all of the court costs.

WEll I know here in Australia you only have to be 16 to leave home without parental concent.... but I would suggest that you wait til you 18 for its a huge transfer from being 17 to 18... you will be able to get a bette job, and alwasy try and stay in school so you can get a job and look after you kid the best as possible!
Good luck

He needs to talk to a lawyer about being legally emancipated or wait until he is 18. Also if you are over the age of 18 and he leaves to be with you, you can be charged with kidnapping or he could be charged as a runaway

He can apply to the court to become an emancipated minor, but most likely in less than a year he will be considered an adult anyway. If he just walks out, and his mother files with the police, they will most likely show up and bring him home.
Sorry to hear you have a child at your age - glad the father is in the picture, though the statistics give you less than 10% likelihood of staying together for the next five years. Maybe you should consider adoption for the good of the child? Try to do what's best for the infant, not yourselves.

I would check in to whether he can be emancipated. Would he be able to get a job in Salt Lake City? Has he finished school? Some states let you become emancipated at 16, if you can be responsible for yourself..

technically he would be considered a runaway and could be taken into custody until he turns 18. If he can do it without getting caught until he's 18, then there's nothing anyone can do about it. It's just the law, anyone under 18 is still considered a juvenile.

contact a lawyer and check and see what the state age is. If it is 17 then you are adult. Your mother should want you to act like a adult since you have a baby. Good luck
