i need help please. who can help?
me and my boyfriend have been going out for about a year now. he's 17 and im 16. we've been talking about him moving in with me and my family when he turns 18.
we both love each other very much. and even if we arent together by that time i would still give him a place to stay. my mom is ok with it too. he goes through hell at home. everyone knows that.
so here is where i need help. his mom doesnnt like me for some reason. everyone knows that i am a respectful mature girl. she doesnt want us to be together for some reason.
1. now she is saying that he cant leave the house when he's 18. if he is 18 is he legally able to move out without her permission? can she do something about it if he does?
2. she's also saying that if he lives with me when he's 18 then he wont be able to get financial aid for college because he's dependent on himself and not her.
can someone with knowledge about college stuff help me out? is what she's saying really true? or is she saying it just to keep us apart?

He can leave when he is 18 and the financial aid has nothing to do with her unless it is some government program that will help disadvantaged familys and has certain stipulations.The fact that she would use that as a tool only means she does not want you two together.Decisions in life only get harder--get used to it.

Sweetheart, just make sure you really are in love. Love is a very complex thing and it doesn't come easy.
Firstly, yes. He can leave when he is 18 and she can't legally do anything about it. She could call the cops, but unless he has done something wrong, they can't do a thing.
I am not entirely sure what you should do about the financial aid thing, but he still has around a year to make the decision. He might chose not to leave, or he may chose to get his own place.

Yes he can leave when he is 18 and your Mom's income will not have anything to do with his financial aid.Although his parents income could effect that.As far as grants(you don't have to pay them back) are concerned his parents income will effect getting a grant until he is 25 no matter if he lives on his own or not.

ok. if he's 18 he can move out. if he's going to be in high school when he moves out, he has to notify the school and prove he has a stable place to live i believe. he can get financial aid even if he declares himself as a dependent. the only truth in what she said is that she may not give him any financial support for college. in my opinion, she is trying to stop him from moving out, it's like a parents biggest fear, that their kid realizes how sucky it is there and chooses to get themselves out. she can't do anything once he's 18 except possibly report you two's relationship and depending on your parents feelings towards the relationship and your states age of consent laws, he could get in trouble for dating a 16 year old.
