Question about a law?! (in georgia)

Post by FaerieGlitter »

i was wondering what are the Georgia Laws for the age of 17? i heard that once your 17 you can move out on your own if you proved you could make a living for yourself. then I heard that a 17 year old could do that if they went to court and got the courts permission to move out.
what is the actual law for this matter? (and how could i get a copy of it?)

Look up 'State of Georgia Emmancapation Laws' in Google.

It should give you the information you need.
So trade that typical for something colorful, and if it's crazy live a little crazy!

Georgia

-No Emancipation Statute

** However, some judges in juvenile court have granted emancipation on a case by case basis.

I honestly cannot find an age, so I believe that you would have to go to court and provide a valid reason TO emmancapate.
