    Default Can My Parents Stop Me from Moving Out?

    My question involves guardianship in the State of: Kingston,Ontario, CA.

    I am currently 17 and I have been considering moving out of my home for a few months now. My boyfriends father has offered to allow me to move in. I was wondering how I could go about doing that. I'd prefer to not leave home on bad terms but I'd like to find out what I could do if it needs to become a legal matter. The legal age to move out here is 16. I was wondering if theres anything my parents could do legally to keep me from leaving and also is there a way to make my boyfriends father my legal gaurdian? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The legal age to move out of your home without parental consent is 18 in Ontario, Canada. Not 16.

    Ontario, Canada: A teenager has the right to withdraw from their parent's support and control and leave home, at age sixteen. If the child withdraws, they no longer have any legal claim to support from their parents except in special situations. These include being forced to leave home, or where abuse has resulted in the child leaving home.

    Ontario, Canada: Can I decide where I want to live?
    If you are 16 years of age or older, you can decide where you want to live. This may or may not involve your parents. If you are under 16, your parents can obtain a warrant from the police to have you returned home if you are living in a place that puts you in need of protection; in other words a place were you are at risk of physical, emotional or sexual abuse. The Children’s Aid Society can also take you into care and place you away from home.
