I Need Help

so my girlfriend wants to move out of her house...she is 16 so I need to know what the laws are on it...I cant find much really...can anyone help me...I just went and got her from her house and I dont wanna get charged with kidnapping so what do I do?

Well in the UK you can legally live away from 'home' when you're 16. I don't know the relevant laws in the US. I suppose if she willingly comes to your house, you won't get charged with kidnapping. I mean, how the fuck can someone credibly surmise you kidnapped a sane 16 year old when she says she wants to go with you?

im pretty sure that with the emancipation act she has a choice of where she can go and who she can stay with...im going to move her shit out of her house tomorrow when her parents are gone...if anyone finds anything please link me...<3

Im sure you won't get done, she can just say that her parents are unfit to look after her, she's her own woman now she's sixteen. Are we talking proper pyscho mum? or like just an absolute bitch.

Wish I could help but I don’t know your country’s laws. I know in the united states if you under 18 you can move out but your parents must consent, or you must be legally emancipated from them. I assume your country’s laws are somewhat the same.

EDIT: what country are you from?

Kick her in the ovaries

He lives in the US Dgod

Ah well then still, my post should answer his question

Damn boy.. you be carefull... I dont know anything law wise but if you need anything give me a call.. 878-3468 incase you didnt know

I found a little bit of information...she has to go through the emancipation procedures...must show proof of financial stability...mental stability...etc etc...

her mom is the worst kind of psycho...the bi-polar kind that isnt afraid to hurt their childs feelings and whatnot...she told her to call her dad to come get her and when my gf said no...she said "why cause you know he doesnt fucking want you either?"...im so glad my mom isnt like that...anyway...if anyone finds anything else that will help me I would appreciate it

Only two more years man, I wouldn't really stress that shit too hard.

But why isn't she living with her Dad?

And if she moves out will her mom care? Cause if no one reports shit to the cops and she still attends school and all that shit normaly I don't think it will matter.

If you're 18 and her mom consents....you can try to become her 'legal guardian' and have her live with you.

I fuckin tried my hardest to do that with this 14 year old chick who had a fucked up family...but her mom wasn't havin it. Imagine the possibilities of being the guardian of your own girlfriend.

Post a picture of her, so I can tell what were dealing with.

no doubt...her mom is a total bitch tho...she would have to just emancipate from her...

she looks like a chick im friends with

My mom is bi-polar as well, it sucks living with her. I thought about moving out too, but she won't agree on it seeing as she uses me to do work for her and translate and such.

So basically you need to get her mom to agree, unless she just doesn't care, then I don't think it will matter.

I looked into this and asked some guys at work who deal with child protection issues and they said that emancipation is a LAST ditch resort. If your girlfriend emancipates there is no one in the world other then herself who is responsible for her welfare, this includes health insurance, dental insurance, and any other thing that may happen to her. And once you emancipate there is no reversing it, say you and her broke up, her mom can refuse to take her back in being she is no longer legally responsible for her. Emancipation and also hinder you from getting loans for college among other things that usually require a parent to co-sign.

The guys I talked to said to get the dad involved and get this to child protection. If this is a serious enough issue that she is willing to cut all legal ties to her family child protection can award custody of her to her father if she is living in a dangerous environment. They also said the other thing to keep in mind is, its a judge who decides if she is able to be emancipated from her mom, not the kid. If the judge thinks that the kid is not ready to be on her own he will put her into protective custody (aka: foster home).



To become someone’s legal guardian the court must remove the birth parents rights to the child if the parents are still alive. And then the person trying to get guardianship of the child must prove why living with them would benefit the child more. If someone who tried to do this who just turned 18 would 99% of the time be turned down, and the child sent to a foster home instead. In the courts eyes they look at the "best interest" for the child. And someone who they are romantically involved with and just becoming an adult themselves is far from that.

Why not try get the mother some medical help instead of trying to change who's legally responsible for her.

You gotta realise the seriousness of what you're trying to do, both for her and you.

Thats exactly the point I was trying to make with my post.

Hmm, its not that easy getting someone medical help like that, especially if they don't want it. (I tried that with my mom too)

But yeah you have to think about the seriousness, and whats best for everyone.
