The legal age of majority for the state of Georgia is eighteen (18).
AnswerThe legal age of majority is 18, so generally, no. AnswerNo, you need to be 18. In Georgia there are a few exceptions, e.g. if you get pregnant you can get married, and after marriage you can move out. Also you can join the military at 17. Answerim 17 and I was able to move out. All your parents can do is tell the cops to bring you home. You cant get charged with runaway or unruly child. So u just leave the next day nad keep doing it and the cops will get tired of it and will stop getting you. its that easy. Just make sure you have a stable place to stay and a way to support yourself. if not, your screwed AnswerI'm 17 and i moved out I'll be 18 in a few months and my mom called the police and told them that I'm missing when the whole time she knew that i moved out and moved in with my boyfriend so she called the cops and they told her that there is nothing that they can do if I'm goin to be 18 in 3 months... and plus the legal age to move out is 17 without your parents permission not 18. Answeryes you can. In Georgia you can... it's the law AnswerGeorgia law establishes the age of majority at 18 not seventeen. The exceptions are marriage and military enlistment for 17 years old, but also would need parental permission. The reality is many 17 year olds do leave home and manage quite well on their own. Problems arise when the teen's parents file a report of missing or runaway status, or if the teen commits an act that would be contrary to any state or municipal law. The issue of leaving over and over until the "cops get tired" is not really valid. Eventually the teen will be taken into custody by juvenile authorities, and depending on the circumstances be remanded into a foster or group home, or more likely a facility for delinquent and incorrigible minors. Keep in mind that many states (Georgia) included have a lot of discretion in determining if a 17 years old can be penalized under adult offender guidelines. AnswerWell, I don't know where yall live at in Georgia but when I turned 17, I called my local police station and they said that a child at 17 can move out without a parents consent...and my cousin also moved out, his mother tried to get the cops to get him to come back home and they told her they couldn't make him...The legal age of majority for the state of Georgia is 18. The designation of a 17-year-old being an "adult" applies to the juvenile code only, it indicates when a minor can be subject to adjudication in an adult court; or when a judge can arbitrarily grant emancipation privileges. The age stipulated for judiciary action does not supercede the legal age of majority which is 18.

Answeryou need to be amancipated by a judge.UPDATED AND CORRECTED:
I am a police officer and unfortunately, we call 17 the gray age. In Georgia, for purposes of a Juvenile Court proceeding, a child is MOSTLY defined as a person under 17 years of age. O.C.G.A § 15-11-2 (2010). Under state law, there is no definition of "runaway." There is a definition of an unruly child which includes a child who, among other things, without guardian permission deserts home. O.C.G.A. § 15-11-2 (2010). The police can take an "unruly child" or any child who has run away from home into custody without a warrant and hold them in a facility for unruly children. However, a 17 year old is not a child under the definition cited above. O.C.G.A. §§ 15-11-2, 15-11-45, 15-11-47, 15-11-67, 15-11-68 (2001). BUT GA law now extends the definition of a "child" to a person under the age of 18 for a "STATUS OFFENSE or STATUS OFFENDER.
(from code section)(C) Under the age of 18 years, if alleged to be a "deprived child" or a "status offender" as defined by this Code section.
What is a status offense, well it is anything that would not apply to an adult - namely unruly child (runaway, disobey parents, skip school). That's right, steal something they are in big boy court, run away or disobey and they are in juvenile court.
A person commits the crime of interfering with the custody of a child if he/she knowingly harbors a child who has run away. O.C.G.A. § 16-5-45 (2001). Again, MAY OR MAY NOT apply to a "child" at age of 17, this is still very gray.
A person 17 years or older is an adult in the eyes of the legal system as it relates to all offenses from traffic court to state offenses (theft, robbery, etc.). As it relates to Unruly(runaway) the definition extends till age 18 and unruly is the only offense that will be handled in the juvenile court system. In most other categories Georgia considers the age of majority as 18 (contracts, cigarettes, lottery tickets, etc.). That is where allot of confusion occurs, as the term "Child" and "Minor" is used in different contexts throughout the GA code sections. A 17 year old CAN NOT leave home without parental consent. Also, There is a DRIVING CURFEWthat restricts anyone under the age of 18 (and all class D licenses) from driving after 12am and before 6 am and restricts passengers under certain conditions (age, relationship, etc.). Many confuse the driving curfew as a general curfew but it only relates to operating a motor vehicle, not being out in general. Because a 17 year old is viewed as an "adult" as it relates to criminal offenses, every local curfew that I am aware of defines a "minor" as someone 16 and younger. CLEAR AS MUD???
Magic!
With your parents' permission you can move out at any age. That does not relieve your parents of their responsibility for you. You need to be 17 and 6 months to move out.
This was called the 'Trail of Tears'
The fact that your parents are divorced is irrelevant. A 17-year-old is a minor and cannot leave home unless they have parental permission or they
Georgia was one of the original 13 colonies. Georgia was important because it was a safehaven for debtors, or people who owed money to the King of England, many people who couldn't repay the king would move to Georgia and start a new debt free life.

In Georgia, a 17-year-old is still considered a minor and cannot move out on their own without the consent of a parent or legal guardian. If they wish to move out, they would need to be emancipated by the court or have parental consent.

No, in Georgia, a 17-year-old is considered a minor and cannot legally move out of their parents' home without their consent. They are still subject to their parents' custody and control until they reach the age of majority, which is 18.
