A: Without knowing more facts about your case, we can not answer that question. Until you reach the age of 18, the parent is still responsible for the minor child.

A: I agree with my colleague. Until you reach the age of 18, you are the responsibility of your parent. So the answer is no, your parent cannot “kick you out.” However, you should be aware that there are things a parent can do to have a child removed under certain circumstances.
