Hi,

The age of majority in Ga is 18. This means you must be 18 to be legally an adult and make these types of decisions. The other option is emancipation, where you go to a court and have a judge ‘divorce’ you from your parents. You must provide proof that you can support yourself financially and then cannot use your parents from that point on.
