What can you do at age 19 in Ontario?
19 is the final age threshold in Ontario in terms of what you can do legally. (I believe that you're right about it being 18 in Alberta and Quebec, as well as Manitoba, and possibly others as well.) There are a few other things you won't be able to do for a few years...like afford insurance. (Okay, that's not entirely serious, but many car rental agencies won't rent to folks under a certain age.) But there's really not all that much more at 19 than at 18. Alcohol and cigarettes...that's it. At 18, you're an adult for most purposes. That's where the age-based anti-discrimination protection kicks in under the Ontario Human Rights Code. You can already vote, watch whatever movies you want (with the exceptions of ones that are entirely illegal), play the lottery, make your own decisions in most contexts, etc. When you turn 19, you can legally acquire cigarettes, you can legally acquire and drink alcohol, and you can legally get into places where alcohol is served (like clubs and casinos). Exciting development for a lot of folks, but if you didn't already know that, I suspect you're not the type to really go out and enthusiastically enjoy your new rights...and you're probably better off that way anyways.
At what age can you move out of your parents house in Ontario without consent?
At the age of 14 or 15 if you run away the police probably won’t forcibly return you to your parent’s home. They will check to see if you are okay and safe but likely will not intervene to return you to your parent’s house. You will still need a guardian because you are not eligible to take care of most of your day to day needs like obtaining your own place, and since you are legally required to be in school and there are legal limits on the number of hours you can work during the week you will likely find it difficult to go to school and feed yourself. Under the age of 16 you may end up in the care of Children’s Aid .In the Workplace: FAQs Justice for Children and Youth
I'm 15, can I move out without parental consent?
If you want to go out on your own legally, you need to get judicial early emancipation. States will generally consider early emancipation at 16 or 17. Some states are harder than others. Some are very hard or impossible without parental consent. Difficult scenarios will require a lawyer. Some states don’t do early emancipation at all. Some states, like California, a botch-up could result in you becoming a ward of the state / court instead. Some states also supervise you while you have early emancipation (California) and can rescind it if they feel you don’t meet the requirements anymore.There are a small number of states that auto-emancipate upon marriage, mostly in the southeast and south-central. Under-18 marriage requires parental consent in most states though. Joining the military at 17 also auto-grants emancipation in most states, but that also requires parental consent.If you can get parental consent, Louisiana will do mutually-agreed early emancipation as early as age 15 with just a signed and notarized form submitted to the court (‘authentic act’). Possibly will only be effective within the state though (no mention in the legal language though). No mention of residency requirements. Looks like the law says 16 now.

Moving out at the age of 16 in Montreal, Quebec?
Hello, To cut my story short, I have a family that I cannot live with and I'm looking to move out. I live in Montreal, Quebec in Canada and I'm 16 years old. I have good grades and a high chance of skipping a year and graduating because of it. The issue is, a part-time job just isn't enough to cover Trade School, apartment rent, food, etc. I also can't get full-time job because I'm going from High School to Trade School and I just don't have the time. Firstly, does anybody know if it's legal to move out without parental consent where I live? I've heard yes, I've heard no- back up your answer with proof. Secondly, is there any program that will pay your rent, schooling or anything at all to help people like me get off their feet? Lastly, can a 16-year-old be put on welfare? If not, could I be put on welfare if I got emancipated? Thank you.
What is the legal age to move out without parental consent in Ontario?
I was doing a bit of reading, and some sources stated that the legal age was 16, while other sources contradicted this fact. I need to know the real answer. Proof would be helpful. ;) Thank you!
Can I move out at 17 in Missouri without parental consent?
Missouri doesn’t consider you an adult until your reach age 18. HOWEVER, there are certain circumstances in which exceptions are made for certain legal processes - such as “moving out”.Missouri allows for the emancipation of minors by court order if there is a significant change in status such as military enlistment or marriage.Missouri Legal Ages Laws - FindLaw
Can I move in with a friend without parental consent at 17 in Texas?
The legal age of majority in Texas is 18. Texas has a weird rule for unemancipated minors.If your parents do not know where you are, the police can take you into custody as a “missing child,” and return you to your parents.But if your parents do know where you are, you are not “missing” and the police cannot take you into custody.This weird rule applies only to 17-year-olds. Minors under the age of 17 can be taken into custody and returned to their parents regardless of whether their parents know where they are.Because the rules are somewhat convoluted, I’m giving you a link to an information page produced by the State of Texas. It has several links to places where you can learn more information about your rights and responsibilities.Guides: Can a Seventeen-Year-Old Leave Home?: Home
Can a 17 year old move out of they're parents home without consent?
My girlfriend is 17 years old and we live in Kentucky. Everyone is telling me that she can move out of her house at the age of 17 years old on her free will and there is nothing that the law nor parents can do about it. And the legal age of consent here is 16 years old so they cant really place her as a run away child. I am 19 years old and she is pregnant. But however Ive read over the sex laws here and there is nothing her parents can do about it with her being over age of consent. But the main question here, is can she move in with me or a friend or with me and my mother at age 17 years old on her own free will... Like I stated, everyone else has told me that you can but your parents still have control over you as in medical terms, and could possibly even revoke her drivers license until she is of 18 years old. If anyone could find any helpful links that would also be greatly appriciated, thank you for your time...
What are my rights as a child? I'm 15, turning 16 soon. My parents say I can't get a job, and I can't leave the house unless for school. But I'd like to have more freedom and possibly move out. I live in Ontario. What rights do I have as a child?
A child has many rights in Ontario, and at 16 you will also have some legal rights.When you are 16 you can be employed. You can even quit secondary school to work full-time, if you wish, although I don’t recommend doing that as minimum wage jobs don’t exactly pay a living wage and those are likely the only jobs you will be qualified for, with no job experience and not having a high-school diploma.Part-time work, after school is an option and something a parent might potentially encourage, because it will give you the opportunity to demonstrate some added responsibility and teach you the value of what it means to work for living. We all have to start out somewhere.School is out for the summer, unless are you taking classes over the summer and going to summer school.I am going out on a limb though and extrapolate a bit from reading between the lines in your question, so if I am off… I provided for that too. If you are going to summer school because you did not successfully complete your school year then, what you are experiencing are consequences imposed by your parents in response to that, your freedom has been restricted, it is a form of discipline. This is your parents right to impose rules for you to live in the same home and they are doing so in the hope you will endeavour a behavioural change. Perhaps you need to consider that, and figure out if there is something you are doing and need to change. If I am completely off the planet and that is not the case…There are resources you can access, if you are being abused or mistreated by your parents. I can’t say whether you are, only you can. Contact your local Children’s Aid Society if you are not sure, there are people who will help, in that event.Go check out these links:Home page | UNICEFOntario Child Advocate - Provincial Advocate for Children and YouthLaw Document English ViewChild Protection
