I assume you are under 18 although you forgot to mention that. It's not legal and your mom could ask cops to come get you back best to get her agreement.

How old are you? No, it wouldn't be legal to move in with your boyfriend and his family, unless they went to court and obtained legal guardianship over you. If your mother is doing drugs, you can call Child Protective Services and ask for help.

If your mother lets you, yes. But it probably is not wise. You could call CPS and be put into a safe environment.

In Utah, if you are a minor child and move in with your boyfriend, he (and/or his parents, if he too is a minor and resides with them) could be charged with kidnapping if your mother wanted to make trouble for him/them.
