    Default Other Options Than Emancipation

    My question involves guardianship in the State of: Florida

    I'm 16 and I live with my mom, and I've never had a relationship with my father. My entire life my mom has moved us in with different guys, has had an on and off drug problem (she claims to be clean now...but just 2 months ago she wasn't), and was physically abused multiple times by a guy that lives with us now who has a very long ongoing record. He was arrested and kept for 3 months for abusing her one night and held for other charges that were pending against him. (Driving under a suspended license and possession of cocaine.) The day he got out he moved in with us. Although he has never done anything to physically hurt me, he has stolen form me and I don't feel comfortable nor safe in the house with him. I have 2 other places to go, My best friend of 9 years family will take me and my boyfriend's family will take me. Both are stable families with no run ins with the law, unlike mine. My mom won't start emancipation (in this state,she would have to), is there anything else I can do to move out of that house and NOT get put in foster care or something?

    Unless your mother gives you permission to live elsewhere, you may not move out.
