My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: Louisiana
My question is: Why are answer's given on this site "not" verified first?
I must say that I am VERY disappointed in the answers given to 17 yr olds on here by Senior Members. Every State is different. Louisiana may be 18 for the age of majority BUT, it is 17 for the age of license. As a legal term of art, "license" means "permission", and it can implicate a legally enforceable right or privilege.
I know FROM experience that the age is 17! I live in Louisiana and I left home at 17 and my father called the police. But the police told my father and I that they could do NOTHING. I am 50 now, but I recently in the last month called the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Dept and asked what was the legal age in the State of Louisiana for a child to leave home and it is STILL 17.
So, please check with the police dept in each state to find out the legal age someone can leave home. Some of these kids have good reason's for wanting to move out and they need to be told the correct answer.
If for some reason that you doubt what I say, then please feel free to call the sheriff dept at 225-389-5000 and they will confirm what I say.
Yes, your parents could make you come back at 17. Until you turn 18 in Texas, they are responsible for you.
Not without your parent's permission. Until you reach the age of majority, they remain responsible for you.
{| |- | No she can't leave home, have a child does not make one an adult. The parents are still responsible for the minor and her well being. Being able to have a child does not mean one can take care of the child. You still must be 18 to be considered an adult. |}
Not being able to leave a situation and being required to do certain jobs with no compensation would constitute slavery.
I believe you have to be 16 to leave home in the UK. At 16 you are no longer considered a dependent and can rightfully move away from home. If it is voluntary, in most circumstances you can leave home without the consent of your parents or anyone with parental responsibility when you are 16, as long as you have evidence that you will be able to financially support yourself and will not be in danger.
The age of majority in Louisiana is 18. Until then, you live where the parents say you live.
You will only be able to leave your parents home at 17 with permission. the parents can call the police if you leave before you are 18.
Yes, your parents could make you come back at 17. Until you turn 18 in Texas, they are responsible for you.
The chickadees are normally 14 to 18 days old when they leave their parents. Before this, they are fully dependent on their parents for food as well as warmth. The parents take care of them until they are able to fly.

The fact that your parents are divorced is irrelevant. A 17-year-old is a minor and cannot leave home unless they have parental permission or they
Legally and morally you can't, unless you get married. But being single, you must be mature and able to guide yourself into the correct way so that you can leave your parent's home.
No, you will not be able to leave anywhere whether it be school, Wal-mart, or the mall. Reason being you are dead.
Not until you are an adult, the parents are responsible for you. That would be 18 and until then they determine where you live.
