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.

no you cannot move out before you turn 18 because your father still has responsibility of you until you are the age of 21 years of age BUT you can move out when you are 18

No, you have to be at least 17 and your parents can still call the cops on you, but they can't arrest you. Then, once your back home you can leave again. You can't legally move out until you turn 18.

I also feel that my parents also hate me. Can I get emancipated even though they dont physically abuse me?

I turn 16 in April of 2003 and I want to move out of my parents house because they treat badly. They make me do everything for them and i'm always suppose to make them happy. My gf's uncle asked me to come be his room mate so i can go back to my old school in Michigan and I was wondering if I can legally move out at 16 on my own free will and go live with my gf's uncle.
