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.

I am 15 and I left my parents house a couple of weeks ago.This was after my dad punched my mom in the jaw. This incident was reported to the police. He has had a history of threatening my younger sister and I to punch us, none of which were reported or repeated to another person. He has repeadiatly called me names, mean hurtful names, and I am tired of living in this hell. My dad is saying that he is going to work on his anger problem, and give up drinking, but since he has said this before, nothing guarentees me that he wont go around and do something to me. What can I do to ensure my saftey?

I think you should be able to move out at 16 only if you have a strong cause, because you will be on your own and it is hard.I'm 16 but in April I will be 17 and I'm moving out.My question:Is there any funds for teens who really want to live on there own?
