A parents responsibility regarding the child is the same whether the child is 6 or 16. The law makes no difference, it just see the minor child. It's the parents obligation to take care of all their needs like food, shelter, clothes etc.

What are parents responsibilities toward 18 year old who moved out?
I would think at 17 with your consent it would be ok. If not report them as a runaway. * If the parents consent to the move but do not petition the court to be relieved of their parental obligations they are still legally and financially responsible for the minor until he or she reaches the age of 18. If the minor leaves without permission the parents should file an absentee minor report with the local authorities.

Legally, if the child is still a minor than no. If the child is underage and leaves the home the parent could be charged with abandonment. It is the parents reponsibility to look after the child until they reach adulthood. What the child wants does not really matter.

In Georgia a judge made the statement that a 17-year-old could leave home but the parents would still be responsible for them until they reached 18 is this a law?
There is no explanation of why a seated judge would impart such information. There are not laws in any state that allow a minor to move from home and yet still hold the parents financially and legally responsible. That would be akin to saying someone is responsible for an arsonist burning down their home because they had matches on the premises. The legal age of majority in Georgia is 18. If a minor leaves home without parental consent the parents can have them returned to their custody by means of a court order. If the minor arbitrarily leaves the family home the parents are not obligated to support said minor nor could they be held legally responsible the minor's actions. You cannot be penalized by the law for something of which you had no control over. The judge may have meant that if a 17-year-old leaves home without parental permission, the parents should, for their own protection, petition the court to be relieved of their parental obligations.
Are parents legally responsible for a child who is 20 and moved out without going to school in New York?
Parents need to support their children in NY, until they reach the age of 21. However, there are exceptions: IF an 18 year old or older, leaves on his own, he/she cannot sue for support. IF there is a support order from another state, then that order is primary for that child. -Note: If you 18 year old gets arrested, and goes to prison, it is possible for NYS to sue you for child support if you are a NYS resident. IF your 18 year old gets pregnant, and leaves the home, then NYS can sue you for support (not that they will win, but they can sue). Etc.
