You would have to petition the court to be emancipated. The thing is why does your mom want you to live with your dad, are you and her having problems, you may want to try to work things out if you are. Good luck to you.

I was in this situation before when I was 16. Legally there is nothing you can do unless your ready to pay a lot of money. My parents let me go. It was a big mistake. I missed out on so much. your 16, in 10 years you will be 26 and still experiencing life. your young and even though it may feel like your an adult you're not. You still have a lot of things to learn and see. Travel, party, date, school, make lots of money. I promise you you can't do that if your living with a boyfriend. Your selling yourself short. You may be in love but you should love yourself and your family more and try to be something other than a teenager who lives with their boyfriend because your mom wants you to move away. Take advantage of your youth. I'm 23 I wish I had stayed home, finished college. I am paying for all of my mistakes. I never believed my actions then would effect my future now, my bank account, or my dreams. Think of what you want to be, who you want to be? You have that first. Love will come. Sorry if that's not what you want to hear, I know it sucks but don't sacrifice your future over some guy.
good luck

Sounds like your mom is trying to get you away from the boyfriend. She may have a very good reason, who knows? In most states, I think you have to be 18 to decide where you live. You are too young right now to make choices about where to live based on where a guy lives. You may go through a lot more boyfriends as you grow up. You live wherever is best for YOU then, make them come to you.

Please listen to me and the other women who have been in your situation. No one can really tell you anything set if they haven't been through it themselves.
Make the right decision for your future..I know you probably here that a lot, but you will really miss out on a lot and will cause a lot of stress on your life if you go to live with your boyfriend.
Reasons not to live with your boyfriend:
1. It's illegal
2. Your future won't be easy, it will be complicated and you might( as many have) end up by yourself hurt or pregnant and on the street just trying to make ends meet.
3. I met my fiance when I was 13 and he waited for me( im now 18 and getting married). I hate to say it but not many find their true love, don't be hasty because you want to be an adult. Believe me and the others, if your boyfriend has trouble with you just living somewhere else..he is no good no matter how nice or sweet he is. You have to think of what will happen to YOU first and foremost...before anyone else.
4. Boys at that age are usually just dumb when it comes to real relationships and responisbility. Most will go in for your pants and assume he will have all the freedoms and fun as he did when he was single. Even guys at 20 think this and rarely does one not think this.
You will be better off financially, career-wise, a tons of other reasons for staying with someone who is already set in the way they live. I'm not all for you living with your dad because there is a lot of sicko's in this world that doesn't show until he is alone with a girl volernable. Try to work it out with your mom, find out why she wants you out even if it hurts you.
If you end up at your dads, from personal experience.....keep 911 and your mom/boyfriend/best friend on speed dial and a phone always with you.
I wish you the best of luck!
If you are always in indisicion like me...talk with a counselour, teacher, or lawyer( not just your friend/boyfriend) who can help you(emotionally and legally) if something happens. Believe me it never hurts just in case.

NO it is not ok for you to live with your boyfriend. You are only 16 and although you may think you are old enough to make decisions you are not. If your boyfriend is old enough to live alone than he can get into trouble with the law if you move in. Think twice before you make any mistakes. Good luck.

You would have to check the laws of your state. Some states allow you to live on your own at 17. It all depends on where you live. 16 is really young though to be living with your boyfriend. You have the rest of your life to have relationships. You should concentrate on your school work.

It depends on a lot of things. Your state regulations about becoming an emancipated minor, how you plan to support yourself as an emancipated minor while continuing in school, your state regulations about age of consent for sexual activity, and your boyfriends age. If he is over 18 and you are living with him he could go to jail for statutory rape and have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life. It might be better to go live with your father and when you are 18 you can make your own decisions about where and who to live with.

You are better off to go live with your dad, and visit your boyfriend when you go see your mom.
Trust me....I left home at 16 moved in with my high school boyfriend ended up dropping out of school (so did he) got wrapped up in playing house, got a little older resented one another broke up....
Stay home finish high school....and don't be in such a hurry.

Go live with your dad. You are too young to be living with your bf. I moved in with my bf at 17. I have been there. I moved out when I was 19. Trust me when I say that it isn't worth it.
Good Luck!

I think you are to young to be living with your boyfriend. If I were you try to work out your problems with your mom. Tell her how you feel.
