My question involves juvenile law in the State of Virginia. In the state of Mo where we reside, my incorregible teen state she can move out at 17. This is what the I was told be official of the state.

Regarding 17 year olds, many attempts have been made over the past few years to change the laws to close the loopholes, but all bills have failed. Therefore, a 17 year can move out, not go to school and make their own choices. However, their parents are still liable for all of their actions and behaviors. At the age of 17, the child is considered and adult. However, unless the child is emancipated, the parents are still liable for the actions of a 17 year old. Legally, the parents do not have any options unless the child would agree to go through the emancipation process. Parents can make the decision to not allow their 17 year old to live with them; however, this is a sticky situation also since the parent(s) are still liable for the actions and consequences of not allowing their child to live with them

Her father lives in the state of Virginia. Are the laws the same there?
