Question: im 17 years old and i'm dating a 20 year old , my parents and I do not get along they want me out of the house, would I be able to live with him , legaly if they kick me out? Or are we even Legaly able to date at our ages?

Answer: You are legally allowed to date, you are just not allowed to have sex. You could live with him if they kick you out, but technically they have control over you until you turn 18, so I would try to wait it out until then. If you are really concerned you may want to talk to a counselor at school. Most kids your age don't get along with their parents, you are not in a rare situation, but you should at least try to get along until you are able to legally make your own decisions.

I CURRENTLY THINK THAT YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND LIVE WITH HIM BUT UNTIL YOU ARE 18 YOUR PARENTS ARE STILL LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU!
