I live in CA, I'm 17 and want to move out of my house

moving out means getting a job, paying high gas prices and hi food prices. its tough right now for a young person to move out. right now you should be enjoyng life and school and I bet you are not payng rent or utilities. sit down one evening and figure out the expenses if you move out. you are going to need a job that pays at least over 25 dollars an hour to cover your expenses. about moving out with your boyfriend I think you should wait till at least you are 18.

Give some time before you move in with your boyfriend… from experience, my boyfriend and I would’ve waited, and we’re older. I’m 20 and he’s 23. Really evaluate and think about what it is that make syou want to move out. If it’s abuse, call social services. If it’s just annoyance, try to suck it up for another year. Being on your own is stressful and financially very difficult. There’s a reason the age is 18! Hang in there. I know it’s tough, but try to hang out with friends and join clubs and work a lot so you don’t have to be home very much! They put a roof over your head and hopefully food in your stomach; but if you’re getting abused in any way, get out. You can get help. Good luck! :)

According to CA law, yes. You are the responsibility of your parents till you hit 18, sorry to say. Probably a good idea to be more hush about the age of your boyfriend as well unless you have your parents’ consent (they could have him arrested if they suspected you were having sex). And besides, you really should find a place on your own or with roommates before jumping into a place with your boyfriend.

The only other option you have is to find another legal guardian to take you in, like a grandparent or other relative.
