My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Alabama.
I will be turning 18 in October and need information on moving out. I have a 4 month old daughter and would like to move in with her father and his family. My parents are against me moving out until I finish college. But I believe it would be best for my daughter if we live with her father. I need information on what I can do to make this happen and what I should do. Thanks in advance
It appears you will have another year at home if your parents prohibit your moving out:
Alabama Code - Section 26-1-1
(a) Any person in this state, at the arrival at the age of 19 years, shall be relieved of his disabilities of minority and thereafter shall have the same legal rights and abilities as persons over 21 years of age. No law of this state shall discriminate for or against any person between and including the ages of 19 and 21 years solely on the basis of age.
(b) This section shall also apply to any person who arrived at the age of 19 and 20 years before July 22, 1975, but shall not abrogate any defense or abridge any remedy available to him prior to such date.
(c) All laws or parts of laws which read "under the age of 21 years" hereafter shall read "under the age of 19 years." Wherever the words "under the age of 21 years" appear in any law limiting the legal rights and abilities of persons under such age, such words shall be construed to mean under the age of 19 years.
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (c) of this section, nothing in this section shall be deemed to repeal any provision of Chapter 19 of Title 15 of this Code.
(Acts 1975, No. 77.)
If you cannot convince them that moving in with baby-daddy is the best move for you, count on being home a bit longer.
