Speak Up! - View Question #117 |
 printer friendly version
Question: May I move in with another 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 think it should be legal to move out when you are 17 1/2 because you are almost 18 so what are they going to do about it. Me and my parents dont get along well, and i just need to get out!

I am 16 and I was doing some research on moving out when you are under the age of 18. And I already have someone that I would live with. The problem is that I dont have my parents permission. They dont even know that I want to move out. My dad and step-mom are very mentally abusive and I was diagnosed with depression. They dont understand me and dont want to listen. My mom lives in Florida and she cant do anything about the way that he treats me. I am tried of living with them and I need to get out! I need help. Please someone tell me what I can do.

My girlfriend is 17 and lives with her dad. I want to know if it would be possible for her to move out of his house and move in with me, because her dad dad is extremely abusive. Not so much as physically abusive, but more more verbal. He calls her names which a father should not call his daughter. If someone can tell me if it would be possible for her to move in with me and leave him, it would be greatly appreciated. I will do everything in my power to see that she is happy.
