What is the name of your state? New York (Western NY)
So my friend just turned 17 the other day and she's been trying to get out of her house for awhile. Its not a good situation for her and it also kind of interferes with her schooling. Her father doesn't want her to move out, but he's mainly the reason why she is trying to move out. She id planning on moving in with me and my father. I'm 18 and I don't mind fighting for her, but my father doesn't want to get into "legal trouble" because she's living in his house... Now my question...
Can a 17 year old refuse to come home, and insist on moving out with the people helping her facing repercussions? Or if she does move out against her fathers wishes, can we be brought up on charges or anything like that??
Simply, whats the law say about 17 year olds moving out.
Also, we are trying to find this information out as soon as possible because she goes to a private school and it starts on Wednesday. We talked with the school and since she will be switching districts if she moves out, they need to know before then so she can attend. If they dont know, they will not allow her to attend until she situation is settled.
