Also, my boyfriends mother is concerned because her son will turn 18 before me, we are 7months apart, is that illegal? |
there is no "power of attorney" that will allow you to move out.
Does your father have legal custody of you?
The age of consent in Texas is 17. In other words, at age 17 you have the legal right to consent to sexual relations.
That doesn't in any way mean that you should or that your boyfriends mother has no reason to be concerned. He and they could still be charged with other things, such as contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Why is your mother not meeting with her attorney to attempt to gain custody of you?
