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.
you can get arrested and they will put you into a foster home. but once you are 18 then you can move.
sure just make sure its alright with him
Is it illegal to move out your house at seventeen
In Missouri, the legal age of majority is 18. A seventeen year old can only move out with parental consent or through legal emancipation. Without proper documentation, the parents of the minor could report her as a runaway.
Talk to a school counselor or understanding adult. There's "hitting" and there's hitting.
Not as a custodial parent, but as a guardian of a child in need.
Not unless you are legally emancipated.
Yes, he died.
If the father has legal custody the child should live with him. What does the custody agreement say?
Yes, you can. Georgia is a strange state. You cannot be kicked out until the age of majority (18), but a child can leave at age 17, and the police will not force the child back home or treat him/her as a runaway.
