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.

Alright, I'm 15 and my guy is 19. We're the same age difference as my parents were. I have no ambition to finish school or anything of the sorts. I just want to be a mom and wife. If my boyfriend and I have a kid now together, would I be able to move in with him even if my parents don't agree? It would be a totally planned pregnancy. Could my parents have him convicted even if I explain to the courts that it was not a rape? Also, could my parents keep me from seeing him if I do get pregnant? Keep him from seeing his baby?

Hi. My name is Morgan and I'm fourteen years old. I am currently living with my mother and her husband (he adopted me when I was twelve), both of whom are verbally abusive towards me. I come from a wealthy family and have every material possession I could want, but the one thing that important.. happiness.. seems so far away. So distant. For the past three years I've known I have depression, but my mother chooses to deny it. Last year I started cutting my arms; at first just for attention, but then it grew to something more. For the past four years I would always say "I'd give up everything I
