    Question Sixteen-Year-Old in California Wants to Live in Texas

    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?

    At 16 you need your mother's permission to move. Emancipation will NOT be granted so that you can go live with your "friend".

    If you leave the state without permission, your mother can have you charged as a runaway, dragged back home, and your "friend" face legal charges.

    I'm actually 17. I'm just so used to typing 16 that it came out like that.

    Until you are 18, the answer remains the same.
