The life that you would have to live trying not to be found would be much worse than anything you could be experiencing at home. Im supposing that you are quite young so that will prevent you from getting a job at least not a legal one, and with no way to support yourself you will have to find someone who will. Remember that nothing is for free so something will be expected of you for anything that you get that is why there are so many teen prostitutes on the street and so many dead every year. With no one watching out for you or providing you with a safe place to live the predators out there will find you easy pickings and almost sure that no one will even know you are gone. Remember that the kind of people that would take you in are probably living life on the wrong side of the law which gets you into lots of trouble with the kinds of things that you will have to do to earn your room and board.Some things you can look forward to are hunger, illness, prison, desparation, and death. If it a question of abuse at home then seek help from school or social services dont be embarrased to look for help on this it can cause changes for the good at home or at least keep a roof over your head and food in your belly.
You, because you are the mother of the child. Unless you got the baby taken away form you and someone else has custody of him/her.
If a child under the age of 18 runs away from home they would be taken into custody. And spend the night or more possibly in jail.
No! There must be good reason and proof before either parent of a child can take total custody if the courts had already given shared custody between the parents of that child. It's best to seek legal advice to be sure you maintain the custody of your child. Good luck Marcy
not muchEmancipation has the same stipulation's as basic custody law. Its "what's best", not what makes the child happy that desides custody rights. Wait until your 17, which I know seems long away. However trying to emancipate yourself at 16 is a waste of time, because it could take a year or more to complete anywase, considering you apparently have no legal standing).The State of Iowa does not have statutory emancipation procedures for minors. The legal age of majority for the state is 18.
No. If the other parent has not had his/her parental rights taken away by the court, he/she is still responsible for providing financial support for the child(ren).
If the custody was taken away there must've been a good reason for it but you can seek visitation rights or appeal but it all depends on why the court took the custody away. Speak to a lawyer.
Even though the mother is underage she still has custody of her child as long as she does not do something to get custody taken away from her
A motion for custody of a child in need of care, but the state will oppose it.
No, she is still a minor and will have to wait until the order of custody is lifted or modified or until she reaches the age of majority in the state where she resides.
Depends on whether there's a father in the house.

If the new parents agree to it or if their parental rights are taken away due to neglect etc you can file for custody as a grandparent if that is legal in your state.
If you are divorced and the court awarded him "custody" he can.
Your parent no longer has full custody, it was taken away, so you would be a runaway, and they would be harboring a runaway.
Since you haven't included any details the following is general information. The parent needs to rectify the circumstances that resulted in their losing custody in the first place if custody was taken away by a court. If the parent voluntarily consented to the change in custody they can petition the same court to end that guardianship and restore custody in the parent.Since you haven't included any details the following is general information.

You can't. Your mom has to sign away their rights or have them taken away before you can get adopted.
Why take it away? That is just as damaging. Request supervised visitation.
