Answer: You are a minor until you turn 18 yrs of age. At that time you will be considered an adult and may then choose to live where and with whom you want. In order for you to live with you mom now, she would either have to petition the courts for custody of you, or you could file for emancipation. There are many things to consider for emancipation.
