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.

Hey Ashley I know how you feel cause I live with my dad and step mother to and she has two kids also. But when your 17 you can move in with your mom if you want to because actually you could have done that when you were like 16. because if he was to take it to court the legal age for picking which parent to live with is 15. trust me i know. but yeah gurl go ahead and move out. just make sure that is what you wanna do. cause if he is willing to keep you there then there will be alot of complications involves but i'll check in on you an see what happens hope your better off with your mom k?
