depends on where you live cause I know in Texas you can move out at 17 and your parents can't do anything about it.

How old are YOU?  Because if you are not 18, or if you havent finished H.S., then you are definately not ready to move out of your parents house.

Well, what are u doing out of state...that is the question. If u are running away so that you can "further" your relationship; it depends on what state you live in and what the legal age of consent (which varies from state to state). Here in my state, 16 is the legal age. I would think you're fine at 17. However, if you ran away from home and your parents are not aware of this...yes there could be a bit of a problem...

I don't think you can unless you've emancipated yourself from your parents. I know I had to either wait to sign all the paperwork and leave after I turned 18, or have my parents sign as my legal guardian. I ended up waiting until about 2 months after my 18th bday to leave for basic. You could technically leave on your birthday though- I think the recruiters can help you with that.

Technically, no, a parent can’t legally kick their child out at 17.  The child is a minor until the day they turn 18 and according to the Texas Family Code, a parent has “the duty to support the child, including providing the child with clothing, food, shelter, medical and dental care, and education” (along with many other duties and rights) provided that the child is not emancipated in some manner such as marriage or court decree.\n\nWith that said, I’ve known a lot of 17-year-olds that needed to be kicked out and have a dose of reality.  While the parents can’t legally kick them out, they can make their life at home very unpleasant by taking away every extra they have, grounding them, etc.  And the police can’t actually FORCE the parents to take the child back in.  They can, however, put the child in the custody of the state.  \n\nIf you’re worried about your nephew, send him money for a bus ticket to come to your house.

legally when your 18. At that time you can enter into contracts legally, and your responsible for your own actions and mom and dad can finally kick you out of the house.

IF you are too young to move out how can you be engaged? If you can live on your own then you have no business being enganged. You need to get your priorties strait or at least grow up before you try to be an adult.

My guess is that Michigan law is the same as most other states. When you are 18 you are by law a adult. There fore you have a right to put him or her out just as you have a right to tell any one visting your home to leave.

Whichever state you are in, age does not matter. If you want to move out on your own before age 18, you must go through an emancipation program and successfully complete the requirements etc. But if you do leave and you're a minor, when the police get a report that you've left without your parent's permission, you will be reported as a runaway and will possibly be sent to a juvenile detention center.

why are you 18 and wanting to move in with a boyfriend?\nis there something at home your running away form, talk about it dont run. I understand the idea of living wiht a Love is tempting. \nStay in school and take care of yourself first. How about this, get your education, a real job and buy and apartment for yourslef. You say you cant afford one, work so that you can and get a nice one!\nAs for the 18th b-day thing, it seems like she is really drilling the school is important thing because...IT IS! \nThe mere fact that they have grounded you is enough to let you know that you are still young ( dont wait your time out). Parents dont groudn 21 year olds ( adults). only kids. \nstay home.

first of all how old are you? and how old is your boyfriend if he is 18 or over and you are like 14 15 ya i can see why he is to old but on the other hand if you are like 16 17 that is ok its not to old. but if you are still living in your dads house you need to do what he wants untill you are old enough to move out on your own and believe me the way this world is now you dont want to do that any time soon.

The day you turn 18, you can move out. Before that age, you would be considered a runaway. After that age, you are an adult and can make decisions for your own life. Your parents can no longer tell you what to do, but they also don't have to help you out with anything.\n\nWhen you hit 18, your parents responsibility for you ends. You can pack your bags and hit the road, never looking back, if that's what you want. On the reverse side, when you turn 18, your parents can pack your bags, put you out the door, change the locks, and never look back.\n\nWhat I would suggest is trying to talk to your parents and explain the need to establish yourself as an independent person. Be reasonable, be calm, and be respectful. In the end, it is your decision, but you don't want to do irreparable damage to your relationship with your parents.
