Can a minor move to another state WITH parent consent?

If a minor has the consent of their parents along with a location to stay in another state, would it still be legal to move even though the person they're staying with is not a family member? Since the parents would still be supporting the child, wouldn't it be a little different from emancipation or is it still possible to receive support from the parents after being emancipated?Can a minor move to another state WITH parent consent?
The general answer is going to be yes. If you want someone to check for any exceptions unique to your state, you should post both where your parents/legal guardians live and where you would be living.





EDIT: And with both of those states, yes, you may move out with parental consent at any age. In fact, many people do because of college.Can a minor move to another state WITH parent consent?
Emancipation is the process that a minor is designated as a legal adult, who is CAPABLE of supporting himself, making valid decisions, etc. The court is not going to emancipate you, if you cannot do those things.


Until the minor is adult, the law normally holds the parents responsible. What you don't mention is the age/ status of the person that you will be living WITH. It might be possible if that person IS an adult, that the parents could give power of attorney to that person, with limited powers (ie sign for medical treatment in emergency, so forth). If the other person is not mature/ responsible, that could be a risky thing to do.


But the whole idea of emancipation is that the person is able to support themself. Your parents might talk to a lawyer, to see what alternatives there are.
well if your under 16 no you would have to go to court and ask to be emancipation and the court well decide if you have any just cause in being removed from your family home but once you are emancipation your folks do not have to support you once your out why should they if you feel you can live on your own and take care of your self that in cludes all your bills and clothes ,food ,shoes , doctors, dentist and any other part your folks normally pay you well have to pay for yourself .





you don't say the age of the child that would help





I don't think a child under 16 can just move out with out some court papers just in case something happens to the child and they are not reported for child abandonment or child abuse they need proof where the child went and why
