You can't emancipate your son. He has to emancipate himself. He would need to go to court and file a petition. Basically, he can only be emancipated if he shows documented proof that he makes enough money to pay for rent, food, medical care, clothing, etc. It doesn't matter that he is living with a friend. He still has to make enough money to show that if his friend started to make him pay rent (or if he got kicked out), he could pay for his own rent.
It is very difficult for a 17 yr old to do this. Depending on the state you live in, he may be able to live on his own without your permission, but you are still legally responsible for all of his expenses and everything he does. For example, if he drives and gets in a car accident, you will be held liable. If he goes to the doctor, you will be sent the bill.
I know it is a tough situation. Good luck!

The user "COOKIE" is highly unknowledgeable and should not have answered this question. Yes you can emancipate your 17 y.o. son. You have to petetion the Juvenile Court and show reasonable cause why you need to do so. If he has left home without consent and will not return you can do it. Regardless of the immature and nasty answers you received, these people don't know the true circumstances and should keep their personal opinions to themselves. If your son is running with the "wrong crowd", breaking the law, etc. then by all means PROTECT YOURSELF from financial damage he could cause you. It doesn't stop you from being his mother, it just protects your rights as a human being and your personal assets. Take care and I wish you the best with this.

In most states a 17 year old with a job can emancipate him/her self just by moving out from under the parents control, I think.
Plus he'll be 18 soon and will have all the adult rights except buying alcohol legally.
He's17 and trying to find him self as his own person ,as we all do so let him be and be their for him when he trips as a loving parent would do.
Why would you want to emancipate him? , he'll still be your son or is it that your pist-off that you've lost the power to control him?
In any way let the kid be!!!

Been there.
Mine kept moving back in too.
You want to give him freedom, and have the house to yourselves.
It's a maturity thing on his side.
I think that I did a good job raising my son, installing values, making him aware of what it takes in the world to succeed and make his own life.
I love him. He is my son.
But he was 23 when he finally moved out for good.

When is it ok to give up being a mom.Never give up.He is growing and thinks he knows everything.Let him live and learn,this will help him grow and he will grow to a better man knowing that he put his mom threw all of this and she stood by him.Maybe this is why he left.

what state are in? you will have to get a judges consent for one, and have to have a good reason. just him moving out is not reason enough.

Don't worry about it. I'm sure it will be to much work for you to get off your fatass,and leave your trailer house long enough to actually accomplish anything in your failed,and miserable life.
