 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.

hi my mother is a psycho and i can't get along with her at all. She abuses me verbally and mentally but social services said that they can't help me because i'm too old if i was 15 then they could. So if i'm too old for them to help me then i should be able to move out to help myself..right? I have a safe place to go but my parents won't let me.
