Almost 17 With Boyfriend Who is Almost 20
My question involves emancipation laws for the State of: Washington
I am 16 (17 in July), and I am engaged to my 19 (20 in May) boyfriend of three years. I was pondering "leaving the nest" next year sometime after my birthday. My question is, is: Would it be legal for me to move into an apartment with him?
Re: Almost 17 W/Boyfriend Almost 20
Are you talking with or without parental consent?

Let's assume not...
No, you can move out when you turn 18. The age of 17 doesn't mean anything legally more than 12 or 10.

You can legally move into an apartment with him at the earlier of:
a.) Your 18th birthday
b.) The day your parents give consent to it.

But but but...
She is ALMOST 17!!!!!!
Jeez... kids that can google the crap outta the net but don't see the word "Search" on the bar above really hack me off.

You've been 16 for 3 months. You aren't almost 17. You're 75% of a year away from being 17.
Will your parents be consenting to this moving out?
