Re: age to move out In New York, and most States where the age of emancipation is 18, a 17 year old can move out if he is self supporting. Generally, the question arises in child support situations.
Then the rule is that a parent is legally responsible to support a child until the child becomes emancipated, which is usually defined as a) joining the military or b) earning a living, and living on his own.
I don't practice in MA but this is a good rule of thumb. |
