Is it legal for a 17-year-old to move out with parental consent and how do you prove it?

The age of majority in all but four states is 18, in Alabama and Nebraska it is 19, in Mississippi and Pennsylvania it is 21. What action can be taken if a minor leaves home w/o parental permission depends on what actions the parents choose to take and how authorities decide to resolve the situation according to the laws of the state.

∙ 17y agoThis 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.

What is the legal age to get married in the states?
18 in every state except Mississippi, where it is 21. Most states will let you get married at 16 or 17 with the consent of both parents or a legal guardian. Several (mostly Southern) will let you get married as young as 16 without parental consent, but you must prove that you or your wife is either pregnant or that you already have a child together. Under extraordinary circumstances, you can get married as young as 14 in some states with both parental AND court approval, but I wouldn't count on this.
