    Default Legal Emancipation

    My name is Oak Farmer, i'm 15 years old, and my parents are currently forcing me to live in Doha, Qatar (A small peninsula attached to Saudi Arabia). I want to know if I can get emancipated in a way which allows me move back to Texas. If not, is there a law against forcing a minor to live outside the United States if he is an American Citizen?

    Default International Emancipation

    Under Saudi law as I understand it, children (and wives) are treated largely as the property of the husband/father. I would be very surprised if there is anything analogous to emancipation available under Saudi law, let alone that a court felt that a western child's upbringing were so difficult so as to merit that remedy.

    Parents move overseas with their kids all the time. It's legal.
