Question: If I have permission from a parent, how old do I have to be before I can move out?
Answer: Moving out before you are 18 is not illegal in Arizona if the minor has parent permission. The permission should be specific regarding where the minor will live, with whom the minor will live, and for how long. Without this permission, the minor could be prosecuted as an incorrigible child. If the minor is under 16, he or she is expected to attend school and can be prosecuted as an incorrigible child if he or she does not. Child Protective Services can still become involved if the minor living away from home is not receiving age-appropriate supervision, is engaging in harmful conduct, does not have adequate food, clothing, shelter, medical care, or is living with an inappropriate person.

My father and I do not get along and we never have. He says I am worthless and am ruining his life, but I know he would never actually sign anything to let me go. He he verbally abussive to everyone in my house, but my mother won't do anything about it. I have a place with a friend that says I am welcome to move in there, but i need to know if theres a way I can move without them having to sign anything. There is a responsible adult there to look after me, and i will get a job up the street from where they live while going to school. Please help me if you can.
