    Can a Teenager Move Out After Completing High School
    My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Ohio
    hello, I'm 16 years old and I'll be 17 in November. I'm graduated and already in college. I currently live in Florida while my mom lives in Ohio. Before I left I lived with a friend for many months and when I come back to Ohio I planned on living with some friends as roommates. Is it legal considering I'm graduated from high school to move out?

    It's legal if your parents say it's okay.

    It's not legal if they don't.

    I live with my dad's sister. My dad just got visitation because my mom hasn't let my dad see me. My mom just doesn't really care my dad sent me here to live.

    If your dad got visitation, then your mom has custody and SHE determines where you live. Furthermore, you are not old enough to enter into legal contracts.

    The fact remains that you are still a minor. The fact that you have graduated high school does not change that; the fact that you are in college does not change that. Your level of education is irrelevant to your minor status.

    As you are a minor, you live where your mother says you live. If she says you can live with your friends, you can. If she says you cannot live with your friends, you cannot. It really is that simple.

    Ok, are you really just visiting dad for the summer and he had you stay with your aunt instead of with him?...and you are supposed to be going back to Ohio when the summer visit is over?

    No. Dad sent me here because mom hasn't been taking care of me and was forcing me to drop out of college. I'm going to Ohio to visit my dad and then I'll be coming back. My mom knows I'm in Florida but I'm not going back to her house when I am in Ohio. My dad only has visits 3 hours a week.

    What does your mother have to say about all of this?

    you will visit her house (actually move back in to) if she says you will. If your mother contests what you father is doing (and its in violation of the custody order) he could be held in contempt and actually go to jail for it.


    You have no rights here and if your father chooses to do anything he needs to deal with it in the courts.

    My mom doesn't care. She's been letting live wherever for about 2 Years now. I was just curious if I can move out with my moms approval. I know I'll have to come back if she says so I just didn't want to get in trouble.
