There are very few states in the U.S. with legal minimum ages, but many state agencies have published guidelines (Georgia, Illinois, Maryland and Oregon are a few of the states with very specific ages). Texas does not currently have such a law. Typically 8 year olds and over can be left at home for up to several hours (usually after school before a parent gets home from work).
12 years old appears to be the most common recommendation. http://www.latchkey-kids.com/latchkey-kids-age-limits.htm provides a state by state comparison.
I'm in OPKS. Age 18 in every state except Texas. see links below
18. Until that age, the court order must be followed. The child does not have the option of refusing. If there is a *legitimate* reason that the child does not want to have contact with the parent, then you need to go back to court and request that the court order be modified.
There are no laws that state what age is appropriate for a child to be left alone nationally, so each state has their own guidelines. The state of Kansas recommends a child be 12 years old prior to being left alone.
How old can a child be to stay alone in the state of Florida?
The State of Texas child enforcement agency would have it. Sometimes it takes a couple weeks to get to the mother. The state would still have it if they haven't given it to the mother.
In the state of Texas a person becomes legally designated an adult at the age of 18. In most cases the parent(s) will no longer be legally or financially responsible for the child (an exception could be a child support order that stipulates a different age). If the parents so choose they may request their "adult" child to move from their residence.
The state of Louisiana does not have a law that states the age in which a child can be left home alone. However it is never recommended that a child under age 12 be left home alone for any period of time.
i think so i would chek the state laws here in Texas you can.
The state of Texas does not have a minimum age law stating when a child is old enough to be left home alone. Leaving teenagers at home alone overnight, is not recommended.
