Can you move out at 17 in Louisiana without parents signing?

Answer 1

No, the legal age of majority with the exception of four states is 18. In Alabama and Nebraska it is 19, in Mississippi and Pennsylvania it is 21. YES, You can move out with out parents consent, your still a minor BUT you are also counted as an adult... I am 17 and i moved out 3 months after i turned 17 and there was nothing my mom could do about it. Now i live with my fiance in texas!

Answer 2

Yes u Probley could you are allowed to leave home at the legal age of 16 without your perants premission, but only leave if you have and if you have a good reason to because ita hard out there with out your mum or dad trust me * There is no state where an unemancipated 16-year-old is allowed to leave home without their parents

Answer 3

This is not legal advice and should not be relied upon as such. Consult the specific laws for the state and county in which you reside for the rules that apply. In most states, any 18 year old is considered an adult and is capable of deciding when and where they reside. They have the ability to contract for housing. SOME states allow minors to become emancipated under specific circumstances, but this is not just a matter of filling out some paperwork. A minor is the responsibility of their parents until such time as they reach the age of majority or are legally emancipated. The parents are required to provide for the support of their minor children. If the parents give permission, the minor can live in another location. Such permission does not relieve the parents of the responsibility to provide support. If the parents do not give permission, the minor can be considered a runaway. Charges may apply to individuals that aid and abet such runaways, particularly if they are under the age of consent. In some states it is my understanding that this is not enforced for 17 year olds that leave home. If you are subject to abuse, you should contact social services for your area. They will assist you in getting out of the bad environment and into a safe place.

Answer 4

Yes you can. My boyfriend did it and moved to Missouri with me. His mom tried to call the cops and there was nothing she could do. Also the cops let him take all his belongings.

Answer 5

The age of majority in LA is 18. A 17-year-old can move out if (s)he has parental permission or if (s)he's been emancipated.

Yes. http://www.jlc.org/factsheets/emancipationus/

Answer 7

I would say no. I think most states would consider you emancipated at 18, or 21. You can always join the military I guess. That will get you out of your parents house.

Answer 8

No, you are 17 and have not reached the age of majority in Louisiana. Until that age the parents are responsible and make the decisions.
