Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

If you moved out, yes it is possible your father could get you to move back, esp. if he knows where you went or where you go to school. Unless there's some abuse or illegal activity going on, in which you could talk with a teacher or child services, you are your father's responsibility (unless responsibility lies elsewhere like with another parent or legal guardian).

If you had your father's consent to move elsewhere, that would be different. If you do move, you should aim for a stable location and file a petition for emanicipation setting forth reasons for your wanting to live on your own as a "mature minor." You may even do this without moving out but you'll need to prove "maturity" -- A good school or vocational education record

A good work history

A reasonable financial plan for yourself

A long-range goal for yourself

Significant responsibilities, such as caring for younger children, older people, other volunteer work or religious activities

If you have friends, teachers, counselors, employers, or other adults who can say that you have these signs of maturity, you may have enough �proof� for the court.

If you are capable of supporting yourself, all the better. If not, maybe the petition will not be granted.

It is possible you could get the court to help you out financially. Your father may show up and object.

A stable location is best � such as with friends, relatives or in their own apartments � before they seek an emancipation order.
