it may be consdidered a runaway but in some states the legal adult age is 17 so they may not do anything about it. however, your parents can make this hell and cause a lot of problems. Click here for general information on emancipation http://www.steveshorr.com/child.support.military.service.htm#Emancipated%20minor;%20description The legal age of majority in the majority of states is 18. In Alabama and Nebraska it is 19. In Mississippi and Washington D.C. it is 21. Until a minor reaches the age of majority he or she is under the custody of their parents or guardian and may not arbitrarily leave the family home without parental permission or in some cases permission from the court. *********************** July 25, 2009 As I was informed by the police tonight, here in Michigan, if my minor chose to move out there is nothing I can do to stop her. Also I am now allowed to lock the doors (she doesn't have a key) and keep her from the premises.
