failure

[Guest]

as of lately my parents have been calling me stuff like ****up and failure and I'm sick and tired of it and all I want to know is if its possible for me to go live on my own at the age of 15, the only problem is my mom and dad are not together and have shared custody I definitely don't want to live with my dad and need to know if I try to live on my own does the court has the power to say no and put me in my dads house. I've tried talking to them but nothing works, I just wish my parents could live a year in my shoes

18 years old is generally the age that an individual may leave home without permission from their parent or legal guardian. We are not legal experts here but we can speak in general terms. If you are under 18 and leave home without permission, your parent/guardian may file a runaway report with the police. What actions the police take once you are filed as a runaway can vary a lot from state to state and even city to city so we cannot predict exactly what would happen in your case. Generally speaking, if you encounter a police officer while reported as a runaway, you will likely be returned home. However, in that case there may be services (family counseling, etc.) available to you as a youth in crisis/runaway but again, police procedures related to offering those services can be different based on your location or the details of your situation. Another thing to consider is that while running away is not a crime, a legal adult who allows you to stay with them may be putting themselves at risk for being charged with harboring a runaway. One way to find out the laws in your area is to call your local police and ask what their policies are regarding runaway youth.
