Sunnyvale, CA asked in Juvenile Law for Florida

Q: If im 18 and still in highschool, do i have to continue living with my parent?-florida

Im going to turn 18 in december. It is july now so in a little less than 5 months.

My mother is very controlling. To the extreme & not even to just me but all her children.

To the point where she says she will force me to join the military because she doesnt like my boyfriend od almost 2 years .

Anyway, living in florida the laws are youre an adult at 18. So if i move out, will that be acceltable even if im still in highschool?

I really need help.. i hate the situation im in and i just want to have a normal life.

A: Wait until you are 18, then you are an adult and can do as you please. But doing as you please is not always the best thing.
