What legal age can you move without parental consent in California?

Answer 1

No, in the U.S. parents are legally and financially responsible for children under the age of 18, unless said child becomes legally emancipated under the existing laws of the state of residency or a court relieves the parents of their legal obligations and remands the minor into state custody.

Parents who find themselves in situations where they cannot control a minor child from harming themselves, committing illegal acts, creating a detrimental family environment (this does not pertain to a child not doing chores, school work or being disrespectful, etc.) or otherwise creating societal problems (truancy, bullying, etc.) should contact the state's deparment of family services for assistance.

Needless to say, of the situation is such where anyone is placed in a position of immediate physical danger/harm the local police or 911 should be contacted.

"California CODES PENAL CODE SECTION 270-273.75 270.5. (a) Every parent who refuses, without lawful excuse, to accept his or her minor child into the parent's home, or, failing to do so, to provide alternative shelter, upon being requested to do so by a child protective agency and after being informed of the duty imposed by this statute to do so, is guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine of not more than five hundred dollars ($500). (b) For purposes of this section, "child protective agency" means a police or sheriff's department, a county probation department, or a county welfare department. (c) For purposes of this section, "lawful excuse" shall include, but not be limited to, a reasonable fear that the minor child's presence in the home will endanger the safety of the parent or other persons residing in the home."

If a minor child is disrespectful, hurtful, or truant you CAN, legally, remove that child from the household as stated in the California penal codes. You must go to court and present your lawful excuse to a judge. Only if the judge finds the excuse viable can you legally remove the minor.

Summing it all up... Yeah, they can, but they have to pay for your rent and such until your 18th birthday with a few caveats. It is important to understand that there are exceptions to this policy as its applies to the term "emancipation". Check California code on the emancipation of a minor and you will find specific exception (e.g., graduation from high school relieves a parent of responsiblity.).

Answer 2

An 18 year old human American can do whatever they want, regardless of whether or not they are male or female. The legal age of majority for California is 18, therefore the young lady is a legal adult and may move whenever, wherever she chooses. Obviously a person American cannot do "whatever they want", that is one of the reasons for having established laws.

Answer 3

ca. is 18. i grew up there and became emancipated there. each state sets their own law by statuette. some are quite lower. in some "hillbilly" and southern states it is as low as 14. there is no national law on this. unfortunately, the u.s. is one of the few advanced countries that does not establish a precise age of adulthood. i am currently 14 and a 2nd yr law student at university working for my law degree which i should have by the time i am 16. oh, by the way, if you become emancipated, you are free to function as an adult in all respects, and therefor you can move anywhere you want. i moved to Utah. but 3 days ago i traveled to ft lauderdale, Florida for the winter. i did not bring my mercedes with me, i flew, and bought a cheap 2010 mustang convertible for $2000. it will do fine for the winter here, and then i can give it to some other kid when i go back to utah in spring.

Answer 6

You have to reach the US law of maturaty which claims that a child is an adult at the age of 18, thust they may do whatever the please. By the way, it's the same law for all of the US. :)

Answer 7

Yes. You answered your own question with the term "adult". They are an adult and you can ask them to leave or have them removed.

Answer 8

The parents are responsible for the child until they reach the age of majority. They can give their consent for the child to live anywhere that is safe. It should not be a problem.
