In most states and Western countries you need to be 18-years-old to move out without your parents' permission. If your home situation is abusive in any way, you may, in some states, apply for emancipation from your parents or legal guardians. I believe you must be 16. If you were to apply, you would have to prove that you could obtain a well paying job and your own place of residence, and you could depend solely on yourself.
The legal age of majority in all but four states is 18, in Alabama and Nebraska it is 19, in Mississippi and Pennsylvania it is 21. Authorities will not intervene if a minor moves into a residence of another family member who is an adult and it has been agreed upon by all parties. This generally holds true when a minor moves from the residence of a custodial parent to a non-custodial parent as long as it is agreed upon by both parents. A minor cannot leave the parents custody to live with a friend, live on their own, or any situation similar even with parents consent. Said minor must receive permission from a court in the form of an emancipation decree to avoid encountering legal difficulties. In cases of abuse or serious neglect, state social services such as DFS or CPS should be contacted and appropriate action will be taken to insure the minor's well-being.

No. The legal age of majority for the state is 18 and a minor must be at least 16 to petition the court for emancipation rights. Louisiana as do many US states also permits parents to use a percentage of the income of a minor child to support said child rather than the income being a provision to allow the minor to become independent of parental supervision.

In Illinois if a Father signed his parental rights over but now as the child is older he wants to see her again regularly. Does he have any rights at this point?
I think that the father does to a certain extent,nothing legal but at his house he makes all of the rules. because i know someone with this same issue, i think that if the child wants to see his or her father they should be allowed to when ever they want. And i think that when the child is with their father the father should make the rules for that house and even though he might not have any rights i say that it's his house so it should be his rules no matter if he has rights or not. And that if the child wants to do something, like go to town and hang out with some friends then they should be able to, the legal parents should not have to be contacted..the only reason why the legal parents should be contacted is if the child is asking for something that they normally don't ever get to do not even while with the legal parents. The father would still not have any legal rights but when the child goes to visit him it would be like going to a friends house and the legal parents say that whatever you do is up to the friends parents...its no different except that the legal parents might get scarred that the child might want to move out of their house and move back in with their dad.
Can parents charge other adults because their child wants to move in with them?
I don't think so. In order for the child to legally move out of their parents home they would have to request emancipation which would leave them independent and the parents wouldn't be obligated to pay child support.Now if the child was ordered by Family Court to move to another location because the parents posed a threat to the safety and/or well being of said child... Then they could be ordered to pay child support.Look at it this way, children that don't like the rules and curfews that their parents present to them will find comfort in another family that will let that child do anything. Now if the child could get money from their parents and move to a non disciplinary enviorment they would. The biological parents would have no control over the well being of their child. And some money sucking, jobless adult would love to have this child...For a price.I'm Not an attorney and this is what I believe to be correct. If you have a legal problem you should consult an attorney.Another viewA minor child who has not been emancipated can only move out of his/her parents' home with parental or court permission. What the child wants is legally irrelevant. If the parents agree to allow the child to move in with another adult, it is up to the parents and the new guardian to come to an agreement for the financial support of the child. For example, if the child goes to live with a family member in another city so that he/she can attend a school in that area, the parents would normally agree to pay for school expenses and a monthly maintenance for the child. However, if a parent agrees to leave a child with a family member because of dire financial problems, drug problems, safety problems, etc, the new guardian would typically agree to absorb the costs involved in raising the child.However, if the agreement calls for the guardian to pay the parents, this could be construed as selling the child, and would be a felony.If the child is removed from the parents by the state, the state has the right and responsibility to seek child support payments from the parents in order the recoup the expenses of care.
