Question: I am 16 years old and i live in pinetop, arizona. My question is, i want to move out of my mothers house because her and i cannot seem to get along anymore, however arizona does not accept the emancipation law, so basically my question to you would be, is there a way that i can move out of my house even though i am a minor?
Answer: No, you must stay with your mother until you are eighteen, unless you have her approval to move in with another adult. Nevertheless, she will still be legally responsible for your welfare until you reach 18. You may want to consider family counseling if you think it would help ease tension in the home.

My mother is not a very good mother, and i dont say that because she just says not to me, or because she dosent give me what i want. she mentally abuses me on a daily basis and i called dcf but they didnt seem to care too much and all of my whitnesses have abandoned me i am miserable and my mother constantly moves me from place to place and i really like this school. I also have various non- transferable schollarships but she is selfish and she only thinks about who is going to support her lazy butt next. I just wanted to get my revised story out there to let every one know it could be worse.

I am having a problem at home with the fighting. I am stressed out over it. I would like to move with my girlfriend because she is pregnant with my baby. Am I allowed to do that even if I am on probation? I just want to be the best dad and not like mine.
