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 am 17, i am the youngest of three siblings. My brother has been on drugs and has been suicidal and throws things and yells. my mom gets mad at me and everyday i come home from school she yells and verbally abuses me. I have a friend, Morgan, whose dad is the preacher. She invited me to her church and i became a member but now it's a problem with my mom if I go to church. Morgan's family has welcomed me to live in there home with open arms and promised to provide a safe enironment but i know my mom would never give me permission to leave the house but I need to move. The law needs to change!!
