I'm 17 years old and I go to college and pay rent in California. I have a very good friend and someone I trust and care for deeply that lives in Texas. I want to live there with him but I don't know if I would have to be emancipated and if I could do that because my mom lives in California. Would I even have to be emancipated? Could my mom do anything if I just left California? I need answers. PLEASE?![]()
