Can a 17 year old move out of the parents home in sc?

First of all, why would the child want to move out in the first place?? I can see if the mother or father has issues with the child and doesn't want them there, sure let the child move out. As long as the child is going to a safe place to live. A few reasons the child would want to move out: 1. The mother/father has a control issue and the child has no say what he/she can do or does. 2. The mother/father has lost the love for that child and shows their distain on a regular basis. (Why would the child want to stay with them). 3. The child was adopted and now has been 'tossed aside' because the parents now have their 'own' children. 4. The child can not do anything right in the sight of the parents, no matter how hard he/she tries. 5. When the child does do something wrong, that wrong is brought up again, and again, and again. If front of the child and other people. 6. The child might be overweight/ underweight and the parents are constantly nagging on the child to do something about the weight problem or making fun of the child in front of him/her with other people or family members around. If any of these are the problem, please let the child move out!! Who in their right mind would want to live like this!!


Can I legally move out of my house when I'm 18 even though my parents say no?

Yes, once you turn 18, you are legally an adult and can move out of your parents' house without their permission. However, it's important to consider the potential impact on your relationship with your parents and to make sure you have a plan in place for your living arrangements.


In Florida can you legally move out of your parents' house when you turn 18 if you are still enrolled in high school?

Being in high school has nothing to do with the age of majority. If your state recognises that an adult is 18, then you have the right to move out on your own. You also have the right to incur debt, drive, ect. It simply depends on your state's legal age. If it is eighteen, then you're good to go. You are no longer a minor so you can move out if it suits you. A child reaches the age of majority in Florida at 18. There are instances where child support can be extended beyond that point, but there is no 'hook' in the law that say that they have to have graduated from high school before they are considered adults. But then the parents are under no obligation to support them once they have left the home.


Im 17 and want to move out but will the cops come after me in the state of Michigan Everyone says that you legally cant move outbut they also say that the cops wont do anything because you are 17?

In Michigan, you are considered a minor until you turn 18, making it illegal for you to move out without parental consent. While it is unlikely that the police will actively track you down, your parents have the legal authority to ask for assistance in bringing you back home. It's important to have a conversation with your parents about your desire to move out and try to come to a mutual agreement.


Can a parent living in Pa move child out of state without the other parents consent?

In Pennsylvania, if there is a custody order in place, the parent must follow the terms of the order regarding relocation. If there is no custody order, both parents have equal rights to the child, and moving out of state without the other parent's consent could lead to legal consequences. It is best to consult with a family law attorney to understand your rights and legal obligations.
