    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'm 15 and I don't get along with my parents or my sister. I want to move out and live with my boyfriend. My parents dont like him because he is 19. I was wondering if there is a way to move out of my parents place and live with him, without getting in trouble with the law. One of my parents has given me permission to move out though. My boyfriend is in the Army, and can fully support me, I as well have a job. I just wanted to know if I could leave my parents house, and live with him without getting into trouble with the law.
