Can a 17 old move out of their parent's house in mississippi?

In Mississippi, the legal age of majority is 21, so technically a 17-year-old is still a minor. However, there are certain circumstances under which a minor may be considered emancipated or able to live independently. It is advisable to seek legal guidance in such situations.


What are the legal responsibilities of a parent if they kick their kid out at 18?

Legally, parents are generally responsible for providing financial support for their children until they reach the age of majority, which is usually 18. However, once a child turns 18, parents are generally no longer legally obligated to provide support, including housing, unless a court order or agreement says otherwise.


Your brother took a beer out of your parents cooler at a tailgating party this weekend and your dad got a ticket for distributing alcohol to a minor What offense is this in the state of Indiana?

Answer: I believe it is IC 7.1-5-7-15 that basically says anyone over 21 who knowingly or intentionally encourages, aides or induces a minor to possess the alcohol commits a class C infraction. of course, if he took it without knowing, it really depends on what judge you get, if this was a first time offense, the age of the child and if anyone else knew he was taking it.


Can a 17 year old move out without parents consent in Arizona?

In Arizona, a 17-year-old cannot legally move out without parental consent. The legal age of majority in Arizona is 18, so until then, parents or a legal guardian are responsible for the minor. If a minor does leave home without permission, the parents could involve law enforcement to bring the minor back home.


Can you leave home at 17 without parental consent in Georgia?

A parent is responsible (as in a lawsuit) for the child's actions unless he/she becomes emancipated, joins the military, or gets married (requiring parental consent in Georgia if under 18). Yes, the age of majority is 18; however, a child can leave at 17. A parent cannnot force them to stay. But they cannot be kicked out until age 18. Call the police and ask. The police do have jurisdiction in this matter, because the child can be charged as a runaway and sent to juvenile detention if just 16 (or less). In Georgia, if the child is 17, the police will not do anything, and the child may leave without consent. But ther parents cannot kick the child out until age 18. Absolutely, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. If a police officer says no, ask to speak to his/her immediate supervisor. In Georgia, a person can now go to jail at age seventeen. That created a unique twist in the law. Parents are responsible for a child until age 18, so they will still be responsible for the child's actions; however, they cannnot force the child to stay should the child wish to leave. Parents also cannot kick the child out until age 18.

When and who made the law a parent cant kick out their children at eighteen years old?

I'm not aware of any such law. In general in the US, parents are responsible for proving for their minor child. When the child is no longer a minor, the parents are no longer legally responsible. Nearly every state says the age of majority at 18, so parents can kick their 18 year old out if they want with no legal repercussions.

What are the rules about emancipation in Louisiana if your mom says you can leave but your dad says no?

You need consent from both, this is what the law says;Art. 3992. Consent of parent or tutor.The petition of the minor shall be accompanied by a written consent to the emancipation and a specific declaration that the minor is fully capable of managing his own affairs, by the following:(1) The father and mother if both are alive, or the survivor if one is dead. If either parent is absent or unable to act, the consent of the other parent alone is necessary. If the parents are judicially separated or divorced, and the custody of the minor has been awarded by judgment to one of the parents, the consent of that parent alone is necessary. A surviving parent is not required to qualify as natural tutor in order to give such consent, nor is the appointment of a special tutor necessary.If the petition is filed on the ground of ill treatment, refusal to support, or corrupt examples, parental consent is unnecessary, but the parents or the surviving parent shall be cited to show cause why the minor should not be emancipated.

Can a minor run away from a parent to be with another relative in the state of California?

A minor cannot runaway legally to a relative in another state and there not be any legal repurcussions from it. The parent/custodian has a "duty of care" that the law says they are responsible for that minors health, care and well being. Unless the minor has been emancipated then they can do whatever they want like an 18 year old + adult can do


What do you do when your 17 year old says she wants to live with the noncustodial parent?

At 18 she is allowed to decide for herself in most states. So either you let her go now or wait until she is 18. As long as she is a minor the decision is up to the parents. You and the other parent needs to discuss this so you are on the same side when she asks.

Why is it important to have consistently applied boundaries for children?

children do not know right from wrong, rules are learned by the boundaries you set up. So if one parent says no TV and the other parent says watch TV it underminds the authority of one parent finally to the point the child won't listen to one parent . Been there done that !.
