Lynn Haven, FL asked in Juvenile Law for Florida

Q: If I am 18 in the state of Georgia, can I legally move out of my parents home if I am still in school?

I am 17 now. I will be 18 in 3 months. I live in Florida at the moment, but may be moving to Georgia in the near future. I do not want to stay in Georgia. So. I was just wondering if I am able to leave at the age of 18 even though I am still in high school??

A: Yes, you will be an adult then and able to do as you please. You might want to make sure you get through high school first, though.
