What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Delaware
I found out that there is no statute for emancipation in Delaware.
So, here are a few questions..
1) Since emancipation is out of the question, I would like to know...
Are there other ways besides getting my parents permission to move out (which isn't going to happen..don't get me wrong, I really don't have a problem with respecting my mother and listening to her advice..but she has EXTREME control issues. Not only is that the reason my father divorced her 12 years ago, that is also most of the reason that my "stepfather" and her have problems. I think it is very sad and unfortunate for myself that I realize that she tries to control every-single-little-detail but she does not) that I could do to be able to actually move out legally?
Another..
2) I turn 18 in about 10 months.
Is it legally safe for me to move out of my mothers house the day I turn 18, without needing her permission or even telling her?
3) There are maybe 2 things that I own that my mother has bought for me. These things are little things, just an old futon that I don't even have the mattress for and my television which I use maybe for an hour a week, not really big deals for me. Most of the things that I own were bought by my father, whose house I brought these things from when I moved in about 8 months ago. The rest of these things were bought by me.
I have this feeling (because of her control issues and some threatening things she has said before) that my mother will try to say that I am not to remove anything from her house. Is it possible that I could get in trouble for taking my belongings when I move out?
Thank you all for your advice and comments. Everything is majorly appreciated.
