 printer friendly version
Question: If you are 17 and you and your family don't get along at all and you have a someone that will let you live with them at least until you turn 18, would that be able to happen?
Answer: If your parents allow you to stay with other people until you are 18 it can happen. They would need to provide the people caring for you with certain documents allowing them to approve emergency care if necessary. You should talk to an attorney to cover your bases, but it is possible.

I've actually checked this out. In SC, a 17-year old may choose where he/she lives, but parents still have "responsibility" for the child until 18 (17, 6 months). The police won't get involved, they can't/won't pull you from where you are (unless they think you're in danger). They won't force you to go home. Parents could take court action to get you back, though. Pyschological evaluation ordered by the court is the first step. But in most cases, unlikely. Do check with a lawyer (legal aid will advise free), the police and social services to verify in your state.
