What is the legal age to drop out of high school in Colorado without parental consent?
You only need one parents consent and the age is 17 in CO now: Colorado just changed its mandatory attendance age to 17, effective September 1st. Jill Martin is principal of Thomas B. Doherty High School in Colorado Springs. She says she's not sure why they did it. Why did you delete your other question? Why did you say you wanted to talk and then not respond? :/ Edit: I reread your question. Technically, you can drop out at any age. I had friends drop out in 9th grade one even in 8th grade. They were'n't put in jail or arrested. Seriously, that can't really force you to go to school unless you're already on probation or something.
Age to move out of parent's house in Colorado?
I live in Colorado and am 17 years old. I just want to know if I can legally move out of my parent's house now? I tried googling this but all it said was stuff about emancipation. I don't want to get emancipated, I just want to move out. I'm a senior in high school and am a waitress and make decent tips. I also have a couple grand already saved. If I can't move out RIGHT NOW, then can I when I graduate, even though I'll still be 17? I don't want any feedback talking about how I just need to stay at home and suck it up. This is a decision I'm going to make if I can. So answer back with if I can move out now... and if not, let me know if I can when I graduate at 17. And if it comes down to it, post some links to websites that will answer these questions clearly. Please and Thank you!
What is the legal age to move out of your parents' house in Colorado?
In the state of Colorado, most living agreements require the renter to be over the age of 18 upon signing. This is not to say that you cannot move out of your parents’ house while under 18. Some landlords will agree to rent to a group of people provided that at least one member of the group is 18+. In some cases, this may require your parents’ permission.The choice is all yours, but I would really encourage you to look into all of your options before moving out! I understand that some situations are simply unbearable. But, moving out on your own is a bigger responsibility than it may initially seem. Maintaining your own living space stretches beyond paying your rent and bills and buying necessities. There’s a lot more at hand. As a family-oriented person, it scares me to imagine one of my children moving out while underage. We live in a very scary world! Try not to grow up too fast!Paulette Dotson
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.

Is it legal to move out of your custodial grandmother's house when I'm 6 months away from being 18, in the state of Texas?
No because you are still a minor , unless you get emancipated but you have to show you are fully capable of providing for yourself in order to do so . Only downfall to that is it can be a lengthy process and by the time its over you may already be 18 . So unless you are being abused or molested in the home , your best bet is just to ride it out . Trust me I know , as I was a 12 year old waiting for the day I could leave home . Took 9 years but I finally am away and have been on my own for over a year
