As I recall, my cousin hated living in her home environment. She used her summer job savings and babysitting money to find an attorney for legal advice about divorcing her family. From what I recall her quoting her attorney, in the State of Louisiana at 12 noon on your 17th birthday you are a free bird. You can leave your home and cannot be considered a run away. Unknown to her hot-headed parents, she had her clothing, school supplies, and toiletries packed and at 12:01PM on her 17th birthday her friend picked her up. She boldly told her father to hand over her driver's license, as it was now her legal property. If he had held her driver's license past 12 noon on her 17th birthday then he would be in legal trouble. However, "her" car was not in her name so she couldn't take it with her. She went to public school afterwards since it was her legal right to attend school and got out early, having passed the GED. She had been enrolled in private school. Of course, she had to provide her own transportation, housing, and meals which means she had to have a job but it was worth it to her. I don't know the details but it would seem that the flip side of that coin is that your parents can also kick you out of your house at 12 noon on your 17th birthday. I'd say power to her but you've got to go to college or trade school. Laws may have changed so you need to do your research with the state and/or attorney.
