    Default Can I Get Emancipated

    My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: Georgia

    I live in Georgia with my mom, and we don't get along at all. I plan on moving out as sson as I turn 18, but I really don't want to wait. In Georgia, can I legally move out at 17? Or can I get emancipated?

    There is not a judge in the country who is going to emancipate you because you and your mom "don't get along". Read the stickies at the top of this forum.

    There is NO state where you can legally move out at 17. There is no state where the age of majority is younger than 18.

    There are one or two states (not including GA) where a poorly written law makes it difficult for LEO to force a 17 year old to return home, but NO state where the parents themselves cannot drag your little backside back where it belongs.

    You have posted nothing to suggest that emancipation is a likely possibility. Particularly since GA has been actively at work tightening up the emancipation laws to make it more difficult for minors to be emancipated - or to leave home without permission.

    You're just going to have to suck it up for another year.
