Can a 16 year old leave their parents?

Whether you’re a parent of a teenager or a young person yourself, you might be wondering about the rights of a 16 year old or the legal age to move out in California. Generally speaking, you must be 18 or legally emancipated to move out of your parents’ house in California.

Can my parents call the cops if I runaway at 18?

Does age matter in a relationship after 18?

After you are 18, age shouldn’t matter as much because you are an adult, free to make your own decisions in life. Think about it. A lot of adult couples today are more than two to four years apart and no one comments on that. Your life essentially becomes less magnified, as it should be.
