I hope it's not one of those "my mom doesn't let me wear small shorts and make twerk videos so I hate her" scenarios.
On a side note, I'm not too sure Wfigs is the best place for legal advice. Good luck!

If you're both still in high school I suggest talking to a counselor or an adult that can help you.. At your current age, fighting for your rights over the consenting adult is nearly impossible.

In a nutshell, no. Until she is 18 her parents have almost complete control over her and where she goes. Only way around that would require a ton of lawsuits and by the time that was done with, she'll likely be 18. Unless her mom agrees to let her move out, she isn't going anywhere. However once she is 18, she can hit the bricks and go wherever she wants.

Is your girlfriend a cutter? The reason I ask is because you make references to her harming herself. Anyways, my guess is your girl friend's mom is in over her head and doesn't know how to handle your girlfriend. It also sounds like your girlfriend probably has more problems than just her mom. That's just my uninformed opinion I've based off the limited information you've given us.
Rather than move out, I'd suggest seeking counseling for the underlying issues your girlfriend and her mom are dealing with. Being a teenager is tough, but it doesn't last forever. You'll get through this, but only if you discover and address the actual problem.
I guess what I'm saying is, I think there is more going on here than just a "bad" mom.
Good luck, and may the force be with you.

The girl needs to go seek help from a school counselor as soon as possible

If she's a minor, she would have to be emancipated by the state's child services or have to live with a legal guardian or foster home

You'll get through this, but only if you discover and address the actual problem. I guess what I'm saying is, I think there is more going on here than just a "bad" mom. Good luck, and may the force be with you. She was... And it wasn't just he mom, but her mom adds a lot to it. She doesn't hardly ever do it anymore. But with all the crap with her mom going downhill (again), she started again last night. She texted me and something along the lines of "I can't lie and say it's not the only thing that's keeping me sane right now." Well that sucks. Now I'm no expert. I'm just a dude on the Internet who has dated cutters, and has a 16 year old daughter, but I don't think moving her out is her best play. She needs to learn healthier coping strategies, and her mom is just one trigger. My advice, which I guess you didn't ask for, would be to try to be as supportive as possible. She needs professional help. Her mom is in over her head. It also sounds like her mom's behavior is more a reaction to her daughter than the other way around. As a male, you probably feel like you have to "fix" all of your female's problems. That is natural and nothing to be ashamed of. The thing is, we don't always have the power to do that, and it's frustrating. Try to keep a cool head and be there for her. You can't always fix everything, but sometimes all she needs is for you to listen. I really hope she works through this. I'll tell you one thing, she's going to regret those scars when she's older. I have a feeling she'll grow out of it though, and that everything will be okay, IF she gets help. She's just a kid who's still trying to figure things out. That's a tough age, but eventually you get old, fat, and lazy, and you miss those crazy teenage years. |

The fact that she is a self-harmer is awful, and clearly her mom isn't helping things. I know numerous people and have even dated people in the past who self harm and it's a really bad thing to go through, and the depression just makes it worse. How long before she turns 18?

Another thing I noticed about girlfriends is that they're pretty quick to tell you all the things they hate about their parents when they're complaining. What I'm saying is, it's easy for us to get this one sided view of these other people in our girlfriend's lives. There's usually another side to the story that we never hear, because who is going to be stupid enough to go up to their girlfriend's parents and ask them if all of the horror stories their girlfriend has told them are true? Am I right?
You have to be careful though, because if the authorities get involved, your girlfriend might end up in one of those hospitals they don't let you out of. That might end up being a good thing though, so who knows.
Either way, good luck. Girls can be tricky sometimes and they are a mystery man may never be able to fully unlock. They're fun to look at though, and they smell nice.
