In the majority of states the legal age is 18. In a few states it is 19 or 21. A court will not grant emancipation unless there is proof of neglect and/or abuse. Even then the minor will be appointed a guardian (if no acceptable adult volunteers) or place the juvenile in a group/foster home. There is a variety of reasons for the neccessity of these laws being enforced.

Well, legally, no. but your 17 years old. If you just up and left to go to your other parents house nothing would happen to you and no one will make you return. Of course this is only if the current parent you live with is against the move. If your current guardian isn't against it, then just move to your other parents house, no need for court. Hope i helped.

all depends on what state you live in In every state a 17-year-old is a minor. If you leave home without parental permission then your parents can, and probably will, report you as a runaway.

it depends on where you live. In Mississippi it's age 21, Texas at age 16, and in American Samoa, it's age 14. But, in El Salvador, males are not adults until age 25.

Will there be school pupils for the marauders lily Evans and Severus Snape in 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'?

I think so, because I read an article about the kid who played teenage-Snape in the Order of the Phoenix movie (Alec Hopkins), and he said he's not sure if he'll be playing teenage-Snape again in the Deathly Hallows movies. So it seems that the teenage-Snape character will be in the movie, but they just haven't decided who's going to be playing him yet. I have included a link to the article. And if teenage-Snape is in the DH movie, then teenage-Lily Evans will certainly be too, because in all of the teenage-Snape scenes in DH, teenage-Snape is alone with teenage-Lily, talking to her.


Can you leave another state without a guardian's consent if they don't have custody of you and the person you are going to see does have custody of you?

No. A legal guardian is appointed by the court to oversee the welfare of a minor until said minor reaches the legal age of majority or the court rescinds the guardian order or the guardian askss to be reieased from the obligation. A legally appointed guardian's custodial powers supercede that of the biological parents. Furthermore, the guardian would need permission from the issuing court to allow the minor to leave the residence for any extended period of time especially if the minor is leaving the state of residency.
