    Default Moving Back

    so im 16 and i moved to new mexico 7 months ago i absolutely hate it here. its my junior year and i have like no friends. i moved here from california by the way. so my mom is trying to make me move again to texas and i dont know anyone there either. i think its unfair and selfish shes making me move to somewhere i dont know anybody or have anything out there for me, so i want to move back to california for my senior year and either live with my dad or my friend. if i do it will increase my gpa and give me a better chance of getting into college there on top of that i wont have to pay the non residential fee. i dont get along with my mom at all. i just want to know if i have a case or chance of emancipation ill be back later to explain more

    If your mom says you can move in with your dad or your friend, you can.

    If she says you must move to Texas with her, then you must move to Texas with her.

    "I don't want to move" is not a valid reason for a judge to emancipate you.

    i know that "i dont want to" is not a valid reason, but i wasnt finished. if i move to texas there is no benifit for me, and i dont mean to sound selfish but its going to be my senior year and im going to be trying to get into college in california. if i go to a califorian school it will be easier and not as costly for me at college. as i stated before. not only that but i dont get a long with my mother at all and was even mentally abused by her as a child. and i've heard from my older siblings that they were even taken away from her as a child because of neglect and abuse etc. and forced to live with their fathers. i am capable of taking care of myself, i practically do it already. the only thing my mom does for me is put a roof over my head. i have a steady job, good grades in honors, and no criminal record. i believe i am mature enough to take care of myself. my parents are still legally married and i am old enough to decide which parent i want to live with. either way i am going to california whether i get emancipated or have to run away to my dads, i know he will take me in. i dont believe it is only my moms decision im almost an adult and i should have some say in my future.

    My answer stands. If your mother has legal custody, you cannot go to California, even to be with your dad, without her permission, and your dad can face criminal charges if he allows you to come without permission.

    Is that what you want? Your dad in jail and you back with your mom?

    Until you are 18 you do NOT have the legal right to decide where you live.

    Running away isn't a Mature Idea. As it was already stated why.
