Question: If I have permission from a parent, how old do I have to be before I can move out?
Answer: Moving out before you are 18 is not illegal in Arizona if the minor has parent permission. The permission should be specific regarding where the minor will live, with whom the minor will live, and for how long. Without this permission, the minor could be prosecuted as an incorrigible child. If the minor is under 16, he or she is expected to attend school and can be prosecuted as an incorrigible child if he or she does not. Child Protective Services can still become involved if the minor living away from home is not receiving age-appropriate supervision, is engaging in harmful conduct, does not have adequate food, clothing, shelter, medical care, or is living with an inappropriate person.

Hi...I'll be 17 in September, and since the age of consent is 17, does that make it legal to move out even if you don't have a parents consent? My stepdad abuses my mom, and they are always fighting, and I hate being here. I just want out.

I was looking at all the comments posted on this board. I f you want to move out you can! Thats if you get EMANCIPATED. You have to be at least 14 yrs of age. I may seem young, but I am moving out. My mom says its fine if I want to live on my own and its my own descion. If you don't want to live with your parents or guardians then get EMANCIPATED. You need to go in front of a judge and tell them why you want to live without your parents/guradians and prove that you can support yourself financially. Hope this helps!
