What rights do I have?

[katrinamyates]

I'm 16 years old and currently living in Idaho. This year I will be a junior in high school and after high school I want to attend UCLA for medicine. I have a grandmother that I am very close with living in California. I want to finish my junior year here in Idaho and then complete my senior year in California living with her. By doing this it will cut my tuition rate in half and double my chances of even getting into UCLA. My mother said absolutely not and refuses to even consider it. Every time I ask her why she says I don't want to talk about it and changes the topic. I know moving will be a great thing for my education. What kind of legal rights do I have?

In this situation? None.

You have the right to do what your mother says. You can always stay with your mother until you are 18 and then attend a community college in CA for a year or two (less expensive) and then apply to UCLA.

You have absolute control over where you live - as soon as you turn 18. Until then, you live where your custodial parent(s) say that you live.

And, frankly, I don't think you're being reasonable, either. If saving 1/2 of your first year tuition is so important that you're willing to throw out a year with your family and friends, then maybe you should be looking at other options for paying for school.
