Emancipation has little to do with the parents or the family relationships. The child needs to convince a court and a judge that the child is able, willing and capable of acting and functioning as a legal adult.
It is very unlikely until and unless the child has a job, finances, insurance and enough education to be dealt with as an adult.
If the child is being abused the only immediate answer is to contact the child protective service group for the area and request to be removed from the home.
In Illinois, the legal age of majority is 18. Therefore, a 17-year-old would generally need parental consent to move out of their parents' house. If the 17-year-old believes they are in an unsafe or abusive situation, they may seek assistance from authorities or social services.
In Texas, a 15-year-old can only move in with someone else if their parents or legal guardians agree to it. If the parents of the minor and the friend's parents agree, they can petition the court for a legal guardianship or custody arrangement. Otherwise, it would not be legally permissible.
No, not unless they were related in some way and the minors parents were dead. I have known of cases where older brothers/sisters have adopted younger children in the family when the parents died, but an unrelated 19 year old would have a hard time. They have to be able to show the ability to support the minor and reasons why they should adopt the 16 year old. A judge would decide and take the advice of the Department of Social Services for the state where they reside. A home study would be done and interviews to be sure the minor is not placed in a abusive situation.
In most places, parents cannot press charges for their child dating someone younger. However, depending on the age of consent laws in their state or country, the 15-year-old's parents could potentially press charges for statutory rape. It's important for all parties involved to be aware of and follow the laws in their jurisdiction.
In most places, a 17-year-old cannot legally move out of their parents' house without their parents' permission. They are still considered a minor and are subject to their parents' authority until they reach the age of majority, which is usually 18.
no not unless the child has been imancipated from her parents. otherwise the man can be arrested for child molestation.
then you need to get imancipated legally.

No.
It will depend on the state or country they are in. It is possible in some places, and at a minimum, the court will move them to foster care.
At 18 you are considered an adult and you do not have to let your parents know where you are moving to. However, unless your parents were abusive it is a cruel and selfish action to take against one's parents because they would worry about your safety as well as miss you a great deal even if the 18 year old doesn't think this of their parents.
State laws vary, but if you're caught by the authorities, you will likely be returned to your abusive parents. Your 37 year old man will likely be arrested for kidnapping, and whatever else he does. It's an all-around bad plan. Go to the police and tell them the situation and ask what options you have. Explain your parents behavior. The cops will know how to protect you from your parents and you won't have to tell your parents right away if you don't want to. Let them know about your existing plan and they will let you know what's best for you. If it is a sexual relationship the 37 year old man can be charged with statutory rape because you are under 16. Also he wouldn't be charged with kidnapping because you went in your own will but he will be charged with, well i cant remember what it is called but it is withholding information from the police but is only a misterminor. B: ALTHOUGH YOU HAVE AN ABUSIVE PARENT... WHEN YOU GO SEE THE 37 YEAR OLD MAN HE WILL ALSO BE IN VERY BAD TROUBLE AND WELL YOUR 14.
It is possible, but you must contact the authorities. Don't go it alone. You need help, and so does your mom.
No, unless they don't talk to their parents. If they talk to their parents then they are not a runaway.
I would suggest calling childrens help phone and telling them about your problem, or tell one of your teachers.
Sure as long as you can prove the abuse and the parents give up rights of guardianship to the other relatives.
They cannot move out legally. If she is abusive, she can apply to the court for emancipation or to be moved to foster care.
