Yes, the 18-year-old is considered a legal adult and the parents may request that he leave the family residence if they so choose. Ideally the parents will assist the young person in finding a place to live but they have no legal obligation to do so nor are they legally obligated to financially support a child who has reached the state's legal age of majority. If the adult child refuses to leave voluntarily the parents have the option of requesting assistance from local authorities. FYI, such laws may not apply in cases where child support is an issue. The terms contained in a child support order sometimes cite a specific age when the child is considered no longer a dependent and may differ from the age established by state law.
