Can my girlfriend move out at 17?

Ok so my girlfriend is extremely unhappy at her current home, she recently moved to california from washington and is currently 16. she is still technically a washington state resident btw.. I was wondering if she can move back to washington when she is 17 and live with my family aslong as she calls and tells her family she is ok.

Can her parents legally stop her? If there is anyway for her to move out without getting emancipated let me know. Her mom will do everything she can to stop her.

Answer #1

sorry dude she has to wait til shes a legal adult. and that is 18. now if her parents agree then its cool but if they dont then they can press charges aginast your parents if they take her in.

Answer #2

Legally, her parents do have control over her. Until she;s 18 they do. Sorry.
