Can you move out of your parents house without consent in Alabama at 18?

Answer 1

In Alabama, the age of majority is nineteen. The Alabama code describing the emancipation procedure is designed to expand the rights of minors over the age of 18 but under the age of majority. Parents can file an emancipation petition with the court or the minor seeking emancipation can file the petition if that minor has no parents or if a living parent is insane or has abandoned the minor. The court will then decide if a decree of emancipation is in the "interest of such minor."Section 30-3B-102 Definitions.

(2) CHILD. An individual who has not attained 19 years of age.

Answer 2

The state's age of majority is 19, but it is unlikely the authorities would intervene, unless there were contributing factors. For example the minor was on probation or had been appointed a legal guardian by the court.

Answer 3

Of course you can leave your parent's home at age 18 in Oregon--I know cause I did when I was age 18 and the day after graduating high school.

You may also be the executor of your parent's will. In most states that I know of YES. That is to say you're old enough to leave and join the military without your parents consent. You're old enough to enroll in college without you parents consent (if you can afford it). BUT, things out in the working world aren't as rosy as they seem. At home you've got a roof over your head and people that care about you. Yes, I know it can be a hassle sometimes. But bustin' your butt for a paycheck to put food on the table, pay the rent and the electric bill can REALLY be a hassle. So it's your call. I can't make it for you. But my advise is not to leave until you know where you're next meal is coming from and where you're going to sleep at night. Yes, but think it through verycarefully. With freedom comes responsibility.

Answer 5

yes, in fact you can. At age 18 your parents are no longer held responsible for your actions.

No, they cannot move out without parental permission. The key here is the age of majority (adulthood) in Alabama. If they are an adult, the parents are no longer responsible.
