How Can a Minor Enroll in School While Living With Her Boyfriend

My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Kansas and Florida

I am 17, turning 18 in 5 months and I wanted to know if they are any alternatives to getting emancipated as I am moving out of my home with my parents (Kansas) and moving in with my boyfriend (Florida).

I have my mothers consent as long as I continue school, but I just found out that I can not enroll in school without a legal guardian present and my mother can not make the trip down to Florida just to enroll me in a school to finish my senior year of High School.

Emancipation is not an option because I currently do not have a job to be considered financially stable (I will be getting one ASAP when I arrive in Florida) so I do not qualify for emancipation.

Are there any other alternatives to it? My mother is open to anything and is completely okay with me moving as she sees I am not happy with my current situation.

Things I currently have:
1. Parental Consent
2. A new Home Address
3. Financial Support from my boyfriend (We are not married so it is not considered in the emancipation process.)
4. Plane ticket to Florida for June 11th

How old is your boyfriend? Will you be living with him only or with him and his parents?

FYI, you have no legal rights that are being violated here.

He is 23
I will be living with him and his dad until my boyfriend feels it is safe to leave his dad alone (his dad has some medical issues with his brain)
The plan is to have our own place by this time next year.

Also so people don't get judgmental, I have been with him for 14 months, my mother loves him, he is great with my family. Yes he is older, but it is not currently illegal.

It is not your right under the law to move out as long as you are a minor. It's nice that your mother is giving you permission but that's her choice, not your right.

If the school requires that a legal guardian enroll you in school, there is nothing in the law that is going to force them to change their position.

School districts in Florida publish their criteria for enrollment and, if you cannot find their criteria, you can contact the school district to inquire about enrollment requirements. It may be possible for a child to enroll in school based upon a notarized statement from the parent identifying the person who will be caring for the child, along with proof of that person's residence; but we cannot identify your district's policies without knowing what district we're talking about.
