DevinNot without applying to the court for early emancipation status. N.C. has very specific guidelines within the law that pertains to emancipation of a minor. N.C. Juvenile Code, Chapter 7B, Article 35. If it is a situation of abuse and/or neglect the minor should contact N.C. Division of Social Services/Child Protective Services 919-733-4622. Or National Child Abuse Hotline 1-800-392-3738. Youth Crisis Services Hotline 1-800-448-4463, Youth Emergency Services Hotline 1-800-899-5437.

==================================
I don't recommend it, I'm 16 and have been living alone since I was 14. I live 2,000 miles away from my family. It's not easy, it's not fun, it's not what you think it is. Try and work everything out before you do anything. Think before you act. I wish I had thought about what I did each and every day.
"Sue" just means "ask". You're asking the courts to award you a judgment. Many states now allow minors to ask that the parents be required to pay child support for the time they spent at home; it is considered to be against the public good to allow either parent to escape without paying. Once a child becomes an adult they can file their own action to recover support if the custodial parent did not did not have orders enforced. In most states this can include asking for DNA to prove who the real father is. The key is to remember the child support is designed to equalize the standard of living between the parents so that the child does not go from a very deprived home to one with a lot of money. If the parent did not ask for assistance, the child can.
Yes Yes they certainly can. You can't be too mature if you would rather let the California courts take over your life and decide what to do with you. How hard can it be with some rules you have to follow around your parent's home! You need to have a different slant on your life and realize that YOU DO NOT OWN THAT HOME YOU LIVE IN, but your parents do! Family is about teamwork and if you can't follow a few rules (the world is just full of them so get use to it) then you won't have much success at holding down a job or even having a strong personal relationship with anyone. Even at 16 you should be doing things like taking out the garbage, mowing the lawn, helping around the house and at least keeping your room clean. Most children do and although they do it begrudgingly they are thankful later because it prepares them for living on their own. You could even hold down a part-time job. Your parents don't give you rules to make your life unhappy. They love you and they care what happens to you. You may think you have all the answers at 16, but trust me, you don't! If you hang out with a wrong crowd, if you do drugs (even smoke marijuana or drink too much) then it's up to the parents to lay the law down. Parents who do this really do love their kids and there are many kids out there that would give anything to have a supportive family. You've got a choice here ... California courts or, living under a few rules in your parents home. If you want to be treated as a mature 16 year old then act like it and prove it to your parents. With maturity comes responsibility and as your parents see you mature they'll give you more freedom. Now how simple is that! * The minor would have to be deemed incorrigible by the court (not by the parents) before he or she would be remanded into state custody. Incorrigible does not mean not doing one's chores, being disrespectful and so forth. In the legal sense it means, truancy, problems with law enforcement, a history of being a runaway, physical violence perpetrated against family members or others, etc.

Does the mother get child support or is the kid supposed to?
The parent is supposed to get the child support, not the minor child.
When a custodial parent dies is child support from a non custodial parent still due?
Of course. Unless the non-custodial parent takes sole custody, the non-custodial parent is still responsible for paying child support to whomever the child goes to. There is no reason the death of a parent should terminate the other parent's child support obligation.
If an adult child moves into her boyfriends' house does the custodial parent still get child support?
Unless there are unusually circumstances, once a minor becomes an adult under the laws of the state in which he or she lives (or as stated in the support order) child support ends. If he or she has established residence outside the custodial parent's home with the approval of the custodial parent, the obligated parent should petition the court to have the support order amended or rescinded. Child support money is for the support of minor children and not "owed" to the custodial parent. The custodial parent does have the legal right to sue the obligated parent for any arrearages or "extra" expenses incurred while the minor child was in his or her care.
Why does a non custodial parent pay for child support to the custodial parent when they live together?
Because you are not married and filed for child support. You have to pay child support to one parent and that has to be to the one with custody. If you both had 50/50 custody it could look differently but you only have visitation.
