Parents can give permission for a minor to temporarily (3 months or less) reside with another acceptable adult, a longer stay requires permission from the court to insure that authorities would not intervene. The parents would still be legally and financially responsible for the minor unless the court ruled otherwise. If there is "just cause" or the state of residency has the grounds and procedures for emancipation, the parent(s) and/or the 16-years-old can petition the court for an emancipation decree. All states have an established legal age that must be met; neither the minor, the parents or a legal guardian can circumvent the law and allow a minor to reside on their own w/o adult supervision or w/o being legally emancipated.
Yes, you are the parent and they are a minor until they reach 18 years old. You are still responsible for them.
Is he sixteen years old? Anonymous
Yes, the 16 year old is a minor and you are an adult at 18. It is illegal.
This depends on where you live. Check out the age of consent in your Country, State or province.
As you've asked the question, one has nothing to do with the other. However, the critical part of your question is whether a 16-year-old child can move out. Short answer, No, not legally. At sixteen, whether you like it or not, you are a minor. As a minor, you must be protected in the eyes of the law, and often that means from yourself. You as a minor, no matter how intelligent you might be, lack the knowledge or experience to care for yourself. So, you must be supervised, accompanied, cared for by an adult.
Not without your parents permission.
Only if the sixteen year old is emancipated.
I guess it really depends on where you live, in Canada your parents can't legally stop you from moving out but I think they can in the States, not so sure on the one. But I know for sure that you can move out at sixteen in Canada.
No, a sixteen year old can not legally move out on their own in Kentucky. Unless the sixteen year old is married or has parental permission they have to live with the parent until they are 18.
