Question: May I move in with an adult without my parents' permission?
Answer: When you are 18 years of age you may move in where and with who you wish. Before you turn 18, your parents have the right to control you and the duty to support you in most states, certainly in Arizona. The right of control may not be abused by parents, and may be lost if it is abused. However, a court will not stop a parent from controlling a child unless it can be shown that the parent is doing something wrong.
A parent has the right to tell you where you may and may not live. Indeed, if a parent doesn't exercise proper control over a child, the child can be judged dependent and the state will take over and tell the child where to live.
If you move in with another adult, your parent can come and get you back, and can use the police to do so. This can cause problems for the adult that you moved in with.

I want to move out because I dont get to do anything. neither one of my parents have a job. my grandpaw gives us money. my parents got mad at me because I didnt feel well enough to go to work. my mom told me if I move out I cant have any of my stuff, including my car that I paid for with my own money. Isnt that a good reason.

I am 17 and I would like to move out of my house because I'm tired of not being able to go out or have my fun. I have a job and I will still stay in school. My parents want me to walk to work I get paid yesterday $ 248 that I have to give it all to them. Is that fair?
