17 year old son wants to move out - can he?What is the name of your state? Missouri My son is 17 years old, one of his friends is getting his own place and wants him to move in with him. He will be a senior in high school this fall. Can he legally move out? What can I do to keep him from doing it? |

| Tell him he can't... because you said so. Legally he's still a minor and you are responsible for him.

| Boy, do I feel for you! Been there, done that. My son is now 19, but I had the same dilemma as you when he was 16. And, as has been pointed out, they are still minors and we are responsible for them, but it's hard to be responsible for somebody you can't control. I had no choice but to let him go his own way when he was almost 17. Keep your chin up. I know it's hard, believe me, but you can always hope they will turn around. |
