No, you are under the care and control of your custodial parent until you reach 18. I would recommend you discuss your situation with your school guidance counselor, who can offer you advice about local resources that may be able to assist you. Depending on your circumstances and, locally what your judge tends to do in such cases, emancipation may be an option.
