17 year old girlfriend wants to move out

[Banned_Princess]

Facts are facts. BY YOUR OWN DEFINITION, the kid is not going anywhere unless the parents agree to it. No one said the sheriff (or the cops, or the state police, or any other regulatory agency) was going to come get the kid. We said, no, she can't move out without permission. Which she cannot, even by what you stated. If the parents want her back home, she'll be back home. Even you said so.

So stop trying to push your NY-emancipation-at-17 agenda where it doesn't belong. You're making the same kind of assumptions on this thread as you were on the thread about the used car sale. You're putting words in other poster's mouths that never were there. Cut it out.

Whatever.

I can back up what I say.

if you are still irritated, maybe you should take a chill pill. a nice m a r ti niii perhaps.

this poster asked a simple question in one sentence.

"my gf wants to move out"

well, she can do that. her parents can also stop supporting her.

She can do that, but parents can take action to hopefully have her returned.

She cant take anything that doesn't belong to her.

if she moves out, parents are not obligated to take her back in.





If you just want me to answer the question as it is word for word.

"can she move out" yes she can move out, but not without consequences.

"they have been dating a few weeks", well thats just a bad idea altogether, you barely know each other. what happens when you guys break up, where is she going to go after essentially telling her parents to bugger off.

her parents are abusing her, I bet a million to one she is exaggerating.

she wont call CPS because she is not truly being abused.




factos.


and as you can see, i apologized for the pre mature conclusion. in the cooling of thread.

Thanks for your replies guys. And just so you know, she isn't a typical teen who exaggerates a story. I've heard what goes on. And it isn't good. You don't know her so you can't judge her as a "typical teen" cause she is far from it.

But yea, I want to get her out of there legally. Someone said it was possible to do it at 17 so I looked it up but needed someone to explain the legal parts. So if one of you is an actual lawyer and can explain New York's laws on her moving out, that would be great! And I'm not saying she is going to move in with me. She just wants out. I'd take her in IF she couldn't find another place.

You already got the answer. If the parents object, she can't move out at 17. End of story. No, not really. The end of the story is after you get dragged off to jail for corrupting a minor.

The only exception is if she joins the military or gets married, but she can't do either of those things at 17 without the parent's permission.

But feel free to pay an attorney if you wish.

She definitely cannot be emancipated if the parents don't agree to it. The parents have alot of avenues to use in bringing their child home. You have NONE in trying to get her out.

little girl goes to foster home, and you get taken to big boy prison.

ok but what if they kick her out.. but later recant? like 1 month or so later they decide they want her home?

then, she goes back.

parents can get a court order to have her returned from wherever she is shacking up. then she will have to deal with probation for however long.

do this girl a favor, and tell her its best to stay at home, where she isn't under a direct threat of men just using her...

she needs to grow up, and better at home then in the streets.

What I want you to do, B-P, is respond appropriately to what has been posted. Since no one said that any law enforcement agency would come and take the kid back, there is no reason to "clarify" that it will not happen. That only confuses the issue. The parents most certainly can insist on the return of the child to her home, and you do not dispute this. So what was the point of raising the issue? Nothing but pushing your own agenda.

Boredom.

the more info the better.

I see the wide scope of the inquiry, more specifically, what is not being asked.

Its just the way my brain works.

sorry that irritates you.

Logistical reality check.

Thousands of 17 year old runaways abscond from family homes in New York

Depending on where exactly in New York this is taking place in, (aka any urban area) and the socio-economic status of the 17 year old's family the police impetus to locate and force the 17 year old home may be deficient and / or recalcitrant in performing such duties.

That isn't a legal answer, but it is a fact to which many parent's threads here and New Yorkers can attest.
