Can a minor move out at 17?

Hi well this question arose when another question was asked about moving out at 16. I myself have been wanting to move out and I am about to turn 17 next month. Now my question is, as a minor, can I even purchase an apartment? And if so, then how do I go...

about carrying on to do so. And if I do get a place of my own, would my boyfriend get arrested for living with me? He's seven years older than I.

I am just about to be 18 and I am already moved out but my gf wants to move out with me and to get away from her controling mom and she is 17 and right now she is wearing my wedding ring and is there any way that she can move out with me now

When you are 17 in the state of Texas are you allowed to move on your own?? I have a job and money saved up. I cant be with my mom no more because she mentally cant take care of me. And my step father has a brother who touched me and I dont want to be in his cusody. is it okay for me to get an apartment with my girlfriend when i turn 17 in 2 months. And she also has a job and a car to take me back and forth to school. and back and forth to work.

You can not legally move out at 16, you will be forced back home, but once you turn 17 there is nothing a parent can do to force you back home, and the person you are staying with will not be charged with anything for you living with him.

you actually can move out at 16..its a whole process tho. you have to get emancipated, hence your parents consent.

HOW OLD DO YOU HAVE TO BE IN NC TO MOVE OUT !

yes you can do all this if you get emansipated..I think tthats how you pell it but...yes you have to get imansipated

wwell i wanna kno y ur dating a guy 7 yrs older then u? am i tha only one that finds that a lil disturbing?

hey gurl.. well i had the same problem as u.. when i was seven teen i had a boyfriend that was 23 we r still together but the thing is that im 18 now.. well this is what i did... i waited untill i turned 18 to move out with my boyfriend.. at the beggining i didnt do it because he could of gone to jail because hes older than 21 so he could go to jail and ur parents have the right to press charges and win the case easy and simple.. They will lock him up i think is for 5 years.. i already looked up all the info because i was worried just like u.. i will tell u if u take any pictures make sure ur parents dont see them any proof that they could use against u hide it because for sure then he will get in big trouble.. well in the appartment thing i will sudjest to get a job and try to see if they do let u rent in but i dont think so i think the legal age to have ur own place here is 18.. or u can work and tell ur bf to put it under his name and u just give him the money.. both of u guys should be paying for that appartment.. but n-e ways if u need any more advise hit me up.. hope everything goes good. take care.. paola

Hey I am in the same situation. I have been doing a lot of research, 1) because my dad went to prison when I was 8 which changed everything my youngest brother was 17 and my youngest sister was 14 or 15 something like that and both them moved out. 2) now 8 1/2 years later my mom barely takes care of me. I pay half of our rent which is 250 I pay half of all utilities, I pay mine as well as her cell phone bill and I pay for gas. I will be 17 in 5 months and 9 days. I'm counting the days down because living with my mom is like living in prison but yet in society. I have to act as an adult but yet can't have a life because she is scared of losing me. She tries to control me so much that she actually pushes me away.So, I am stuck between a rock and a hard spot. My boyfriend is quite a few years older than me and we would love to get married but are figuring a way to go about that at the moment. The legal age of consent in Idaho is 14 but as far as moving out goes is it 16 or 17. Reason I'm asking is because my mom doesnt pay for my doctor bills, or chiropractor bills( I injured my knee and have paid for everything myself) cell phone bills, rent, food i mean i pay for everything myself, so if I have to pay rent and I'm 16 and half years old shouldn't I be aloud to chose where I live if I'm able to support myself! I have a great job and it brings in good money. ...SO, what do I do?

Question: so many people are sayine yes, but does anyone have documentation or a website to prove it? Just to be on the safe side...?

you can move out whenever you
want haha
but the thing is you need to have someone over 18
sign your aparment or something like that

hell yes i did

No you can't you have to go through court and I forgot what it is called and you can not have a boyfriend that is 7 years older then you I am 15 and I'm looking to move out when I turn 16 and I have a boyfriend that is 17 but Im braking up with him because he can get in bid trouble when he turns 18 but if you do things right you can move in but yourself. just call and atterney and do it yourself. Dont have anyone move in with you.

im in the same position as you are and I have moved out but i had to come back as I couldnt pay the bills, if your in the united kingdome then yeh you cn leve home at 16, as forthe renting I m not sure that your allowed to rent anything, and i also wouldn´t move in with a man who is 17 years older thn you ashe is able to do more things than what you can and I think that ull be fighting more than loving. I am going to stay living at home untill im 18 and then leave home, because then i am legal to do what ever i want and me and my boyfriend will have saved enoght money, nd if this man realli loves you and you re going to move in with him then he should pay the bills with you.

My fiance is 21 and I'm 17. We moved in together in September. It was ok with my mom, but I went to the police beforehand, just to be on the safe side, and luckily, Ohio laws said that I could actually move out at 16, doesn't matter who your living with. I would suggest going to the police department and inquiring, just so you know for sure what your rights are.

I don't know really know. I mean I am in the same situation with a controlling dad who hates my boyfriend who is 18. I just turned 16 and I want to move out so bad. my boyfriend is ready to go in the military and when he comes back I want to move in with him.

-does anyone have a site that tells you facts about the ages to move out?

You can move out at 17 legally in the UK. 16 is illegal but it has been done in the past. It all really depends on my parents or who you are living with at the moment. If your boyfriend is 24 then that's fine because he will be able to get a place for you two to live or whatever, if you have an income then you could probably get a place.

The other way to go is to speak to your local housing people for the council where you live, they could be able to help you out. If you have a job you'll have to pay the weekly/monthly bill. If you don't then you'll be put on the bottom of the list for people looking for places to go.

It will also be advised that you get a note/letter from whoever you are living with stating that they will not take you back, as the housing officers will ask for proof that you cannot return there to live.

The reason I know this is becuase I did look into it and a close friend of mine is currently in a bedsit waiting for his place, he is in his thirtys and is divorced with two children... god bless him.

yor parents have 2 sign a paper and yes you can but get the form and let them fil it out and sign it! FIRST!
