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.

im 15 turning 16 and i want to move out of the house next year (when im 16) to live with my boyfreind and his parents in Nevada. My boyfreind told me that it was legal as long as I have a job, have a roof over my head, transportation and some way to be fed and clothed. Is this true? Can i legally move out when im 16?
