This depends on who sets the curfew - your parents or the city where you live. Parental curfew's are discretionary. Meaning, it is up to your parents what time they want you in the house.
In the City of Phoenix curefew is 10 pm for kids under 16 and midnight for kids over 18.
Visit the City of Phoenix website for more information on city laws and specific curfew definitions.

is that a typo?
***midnight for kids OVER 18
i thought that once you are 18 you are an adult not a kid and since when do adults need curfews?

IF anything the curfew statement need to be more accurate about who they are talking about. I've met people that where 22 and acted like kids but the doesn't mean they are. I believe that if you are age 17 or younger 10:00 PM is the appropriate time frame. However, if you are of the age of 18 or older and still in school then the curfew should affect you not if you work and have already graduated from high school. All the state is saying if you are over the age of 18 you better be in by midnight. Oh yeah, about the government in control HA! They can't even clarify a this law like they should.

What happens to the age of 17? Under 16 and over 18 but no 17? Is it part of 10:00 curfew or the midnight curfew?
