Q: Is legal to help an 18 year old move out without parent consent in Florida?
My partner is trying to move out at the age 18, but is trying to do it quickly and needs help since the parents in question won't be willing. Would I and my friends get in trouble for helping them move out? Is it concidered tresspassing and the parents have legal reasons to harm us?
A: 18 years of age is the age of majority in Florida and almost all other states. So your "partner" can move. If that person lives there, she or he can invite you to his or her place of residence. If the parents accuse you of trespassing, call the police and advise them if the situation; the parents cannot prevent their child from leaving by refusing to allow you and your friends to help the "partner" move.
