The person would be considered a minor and the laws of the state where the teen lived would be applicable. If for example the teen were stopped by authorities in another state he/she might be taken into custody and remanded to a juvenile facility until his/her status could be determined. Generally the teen would be remanded to the custody of the parents unless a violation of the law resulted in a felony charge.
Although the young female is of the age of sexual consent for the state of New York which is seventeen, she is still UNDER the age of LEGAL majority which is eighteen. The young man however is legally an adult, and ANY relationship between unrelated adults and a minors can be subjected to definition as it relates to criminal and/or civil law(s). Therefore it might be prudent to delay co-habitation until she reaches the age of majority.
yes, depending on what state you are in. in Texas you can if your parent allows you to move out and even if they don't you can as long as you have an emancipation. in Texas the legal age to do what you want legally is 18.
AnswerThe legal age of majority in most states is 18, in Alabama and Nebraska it is 19, in Mississippi and Pennsylvania it is 21. Parents are legally and financially responsible for a minor child until that child reaches the age of majority in the state of residency or a court rules otherwise. Please be advised in relationships between minors and adults ALL states reserves the right to intervene w/o the co-operation of the minor or the minor's parent(s) or legal guardian, if "just cause" prevails . All states have laws that pertain to adult and minor relationships, some of those laws carry both criminal and civil penalties.If she has parental permission, then yes, she can. However, if you live in a state where the age of sexual consent is 18, and anyone reports it...get ready for trouble (for everyone involved).
Yes
No, not unless she gets married (which requires parental permission) or is emancipated.
A 17-year-old is a minor and cannot legally move out without parental permission unless they have been emancipated in some manner.
No, you cannot legally move out. You must be 18 or have their permission.
They cannot do so legally. Unless they have parental permission.
I think you have to be 17 years old.

You need to be worried about the laws of your state. Boyfriend can't take you to another state to get married. First, it's illegal to take a minor across state lines without parental permission.

In Tennessee, you must be at least 18 years old to legally move out without parental consent. If you are 17 and wish to move out, you would typically need your parent or legal guardian's permission or need to be legally emancipated by the court.
In Oklahoma, the legal age of majority is 18. If you are 16 and wish to move out without parental permission, you would need to be legally emancipated by the court. Emancipation grants you the rights of an adult and releases your parents from their legal obligations towards you.
Legally no but I would advise you to report any abuse. In some cases you can petition the court for what is called emancipation of minor. Essentially you become an adult.
You can, but only if you are at the emancipation age required by your particular state.
In New York, a teen must be 18 years old to move out of their parents' house without permission. Otherwise, they would need parental consent or to be legally emancipated.
