Question

I am 17 and i have been niglected by my mother, i have basically raised myself and my younger siblings. My dad was in prision all my life until recently...Now he has custody of me and my sister. But i hate living here...i feel mentaly abused. How can i leave home with out parental concent at 17? I have a place to go.



Answer

No, you are under the care and control of your custodial parent until you reach 18. I would recommend you discuss your situation with your school guidance counselor, who can offer you advice about local resources that may be able to assist you. Depending on your circumstances and, locally what your judge tends to do in such cases, emancipation may be an option.
