what is the age that an adolescent can legally leave and live outside of his parents house in Louisiana?

Question

I have a friend whose mother could probably be reported to social services, but no one in his family will do that to her. He is 17 and the last child at home. He doesn't want to hurt his mother, but he (and his extended family) believes that he would be better off living somewhere else. His mother is very manipulative and confrontational (she stands in my friends face and screams at him in the middle of the night after having made him work until really late on school nights.)She has also made it so that she controls his bank account and will not let him have access to his bank account that is also in her name. He wants to go live with his brother or father. Neither of them will stand up to her harrassment. He would leave and go live somewhere else, but he has to know that she cannot legally force him to go back. can anyone tell me what the law states in louisiana?

Answer 2

There are two terms associated with becoming of age where a "minor" can do certain things.

One term is known as "Age of Consent" which is normally lower than that of the second term "Age of Majority" or "emancipation."

Emancipation (Age of Consent) in the State of Louisiana is 18: unless emancipated earlier by notarial act, marriage or judicial determination: if a minor is still in high school, then age 19, or upon graduation from high school, whichever occurs first.

Emancipation normally involves a stage in a minors life where they become able to care for themselves without dependence upon another adult.
