A 16 year old in South Dakota may file a petition for emancipation in South Dakota. However, the 16 yer old must be able to show that they are managing their own financial affairs and that they are not earning any income from crime.
The parents or guardians must be notified and either consent to the emancipation or the minor must be able to show that there is no known address for the parents or guardians.
Another way would be to get married or to join the Armed Forces.
To file a petition for declaration of emancipation in the state of South Dakota, a minor must be at least 16 years old.
you have to be 18 year of age in South dakota!
No, that's a big age difference. i think it's illegal too..............
In South Dakota, the age of majority is 18, so the individual would legally be an adult in that state. If the individual moves to Nebraska with their parents' permission to finish high school while still under the age of 18, they would require their parents' support and permission while residing in Nebraska. Once they turn 18, they would be considered an adult in both South Dakota and Nebraska.
Only if it JUST a date and NOT anything further. At 16 this person is a minor, but the 18 or 19 year old is an adult. They could get into trouble for anything more with a 16 year old.
yes
Yes. 18 years old is an adult. You can legally leave the parents house whenever they wish from their 18th birthday onward.
Well I'm pretty sure it ISN'T! Why would it be? But I think it's wrong to even be dating a 17 year-old. Isn't that like...4 YEARS APART?!
Yes. 18 is the age considered to be an adult in the US
It's currently still 16. Starting in the 2009-2010 school year it will be 18 years old.
No, a 17 year old can not move out with a 19 year old in Illinois without parent approval. If the 17 year old has approval, they can move out.
No, a fifteen year old girl is legally too young for sex. Anyone who has sex with a 15 year old is legally guilty of rape; even if she consents for sex.
