Can a 17 year-old leave home legally in Delaware?

In Delaware, the legal age of majority is 18. However, if a 17-year-old is deemed to be emancipated by a court or has parental consent, they may be able to leave home legally. Otherwise, they are considered a minor under the control of their parents or legal guardians.

The parents have the right to charge their daughter rent, as she is now considered an adult at 17. However, her status as a minor on probation could complicate matters, and it would be advisable for the parents to consult with her probation officer before implementing any changes to her living situation or financial responsibilities. It may be helpful to work towards finding a balance that supports her education, job, and rehabilitation efforts.

Yes, you may need documents such as a lease agreement or utility bills in your name to prove you no longer reside with your parents.

It's advisable to check with the specific institutions or authorities requesting this information for their exact requirements.


Is it legal in the state of New Jersey for a 17 year old to move out of their parents home without being reported as a runaway?

This is not legal advice and should not be relied upon as such. Consult the specific laws for the state and county in which you reside for the rules that apply. In most states, any 18 year old is considered an adult and is capable of deciding when and where they reside. They have the ability to contract for housing. SOME states allow minors to become emancipated under specific circumstances, but this is not just a matter of filling out some paperwork. A minor is the responsibility of their parents until such time as they reach the age of majority or are legally emancipated. The parents are required to provide for the support of their minor children. If the parents give permission, the minor can live in another location. Such permission does not relieve the parents of the responsibility to provide support. If the parents do not give permission, the minor can be considered a runaway. Charges may apply to individuals that aid and abet such runaways, particularly if they are under the age of consent. In some states it is my understanding that this is not enforced for 17 year olds that leave home. If you are subject to abuse, you should contact social services for your area. They will assist you in getting out of the bad environment and into a safe place.
