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 moved in with my friend and her parents because I had already been kicked out by my father.I was hit me and kicked out for having a photo of my peurto rican friend, because my father is raceist. My mother lives with my father and wants me to come back to live with her. I hate it there. My mother took me out of school and now I can't go back to school without her signature and she won't sign anything for the people I'm living with. Do I have to go back to live with my abusive father and controlling mother?
