Speak Up! - View Question #178 |
 printer friendly version
Question: What rights do parents have when a child turns 17?
Answer: A child is considered a minor in Arizona until their 18th birthday. That means that any time between birth and the day someone turns 18, they are considered a child for purposes of Arizona law. Children are in the care of the parents until they become adults, meaning parents make decisions about their care until they become adults.
Children can not enter into contracts, make legal decisions, or vote. Although there are some things that begin to change as you get older, for example, being able to earn a driver's license, you are still considered a child in the eyes of the law until you turn 18.

This isn't necessarily a comment, but I was wondering if anyone could answer a question for me. I have a boyfriend that lives in boston, and I want to move out with him. I mean, get our own apartment. If one of my parents is ok with it, can i move out? I know i won't have the same rights as someone that's 18, but if my bf is 19, can i move out with him?
