Get their permission to move out if you aren't 18. Until the age of 18, the authorities will turn you over to the parents. Parents are responsible for their children until they reach the age of majority. This is 18 in most states and countries around the world. The responsibility includes determining where the child should live.

It is unlikely for the boyfriend's parents to get arrested for letting you stay the night at their house without your parents' permission, unless they are breaking a specific law related to the situation, like harboring a runaway minor. However, it is important to communicate openly with both sets of parents to ensure everyone is comfortable with the situation.

If you are 16 can you legally move out and live with your boyfriend who will be 20 and can your parents come and find you and bring you home if you are not emancipated?

A 16-year-old is a minor. If you leave home without parental consent or being emancipated, your parents can report you as a runaway and you will be picked up by the police and returned home. In addition, your boyfriend could be facing charges. The exact charges would depend on the laws of your state, but some possible charges would be: contributing to the delinquency of a minor, harboring a runaway, enticing a child, interference with child custody, and possibly other, much more serious charges as well. Don't do that to him!


Can a 17-year-old move out of his parents' house into another relative's house like a grandparent or aunt in Texas?

Probably. The legal age of majority is 18 but apparently Texas police won't generally force a 17-year-old to move back in with their parents. If you leave home without parental consent, then anyone who takes you in--even if they are a relative--can be facing charges for doing so. Texas does have laws against harboring a runaway. There could possibly be other charges as well.


Can a 17 year old legally move in with her boyfriend the age of 22 years without her parents consent in the state of Texas?

No. And if she does, then he could face criminal charges, starting with 'harboring a runaway' (defined as anyone under the age of 18 who is absent from their home without the consent of their parent). And they might be able to find other charges that will apply as well. In addition, the parents will then easily be able to get a restraining order against the man, legally requiring him to cease all contact with the minor or go to jail if he doesn't. Bottom line - it's a very bad idea.
