    Default Can You Get Emancipated at 17 After Graduating from High School

    My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Louisiana

    So, I just turned 16. I'm graduating next August - early. I'll be 17 by then, nearly a month prior. But, I will not have a reason to live with my mother anymore because I wish to take a year break between high school and college.

    What I want to know is if I can get emancipated with just my father's approval or does it have to be both my mother and my father? Because my friends have told me if I wanted to, I could live at their house. I just don't want to be forced to return home - me and my mom don't have the best of a relationship: she found out that I lost my virginity recently and has taken everything from me. I can't hang out with my friends, my phone got taken away (I have a question about that as well), and all I can really do is work and school. So, I'd like to get out of the house. I know this seems childish and y'all may say, "Ah, sucks for you. My parents did the same thing and it shaped me to be such a better person.": I can work and make my own living and I have housing already set up. I don't need my parents on my back as much as they are and I'd like to go off on my own. So, answer me this: if I graduate high school when I am 17, can I officially move out without fear of the law taking me back? Do I need both parents or just my father to get me emancipated?

    Oh yeah the phone question: if I buy my own phone with the money from my job, like I pay for the plan and the physical phone with no help from my parents, can they take it away? The one she did take away was bought by her but I can buy my own and pay for that if need be. I just dont want to have it taken again.
