Nope there is nothing you can do. Unless you are still in high school, he can legally like you out. however you do have a few options. Option 1 is to go off to college. Start applying for different colleges and scholarships, and don't forget to fill out the fafsa. Option b is to sign up for americorps. With americorps, you can live somewhere and do volunteer work and they give you a stipend, and the added bonus with that is they give you money for college also. Option c is to sign up for job corps. with job corps, they send you to one of their centers and they train you in a certain craft or trade, and once you leave, they will help you find a job. Option D is to go to a junior college and either pick up a trade or get your associates, in which you can transfer that to a four year university, and the final option is to get a job, but that's going to be a little hard if you do not have a 4 year degree or a certificate in a trade such as welding or pluming or something like that. i wish you the best of luck and i will leave you a few websites to help you out.

Legal Action...um No. Look at the facts. You and your father dont get along anyways- Why would you want to stay? Or worse drag something out in court (of coarse you have no case).
What you can do for YOU is prepare yourself for the next step in your life. Dont get wrapped up in family drama. It will only make you miserable. do something for yourself and that will make you feel better. Remember the world doesnt owe you any favors- you need to get out and get ahead while you can...
Check out Job Corps. They will give you a place to live...pay you...and train you for a job of your choice.
Job Corps is the nation's largest and most comprehensive residential education and job training program for at-risk youth, ages 16 through 24. Job Corps combines classroom, practical, and work-based learning experiences to prepare youth for stable, long-term, high-paying jobs.
Job Corps is administered by the Department of Labor's Office of the Secretary. For information on Job Corps, including eligibility requirements and location of the center nearest you, call (800) 733-JOBS.
Oh and By the way this isnt a military thing......its just an opportunity to get ahead.

Actually, according to the law he doesn't have to support you after that and I'm afraid there's not much you can do about it.... I would suggest you try to find a place to live. I'm sorry that your dad isn't the "average" type of dad, but since you don't get along, it is probably best that you don't stay with him after 18 anyway. He will probably cause you more harm than good....
I don't know what your plans are but there are options for you. If you can find a room to rent with a family or friend you can still work and go to school....
I really do wish you luck.

You are 18 and IF the law in the state where you live says you are grown up and no longer your parents' responsibility, then if he wants you out of the house, you have no choice but to pack your belongings and leave.
That's really crappy of your dad. My son was not ready to be out at 18, but we did expect him to get a job and start working towards moving out.
Good luck to you young man!

I'm sorry. I'm not laughing a bit, and I hope no one else does either.
Unfortunately, when you're 18 you're at the age of majority in most U.S. states. I know there are a few states with higher ages of majority, below which he would still be responsible for your upkeep. Odds are, however, that you're on your own on your 18th birthday if that is your father's desire.
He sounds like a real prince. I'm sorry.

Look into the military for technical training, not to mention discipline and direction. I only mention that because that's what I did. Learned skills that I could take into the civilian world and have had a hell of a career.

unfortunately as stated above at the age of 18 you are on your own, dad has no duty to take care of you or provided housing, can kick you out, do you have any other relatives to help

None my friend. You are old enough to figure that out. Perhaps see a Counselor and work things out with DAD. Problems can always be solved and blood is always thicker as they say. Have patience and don't create any wounds that cannot be mended later in life and those that leave permanent scars in our lives.

I'm sorry, but your childhood is over.
I know a couple that as soon as their children had their 18th birthday they kicked them out. When the last one wouldn't leave they bought a motor home and sold the house and drove off without him.

Absolutely nothing. If you are over 18 he has no more legal obligation to you. You can call an attorney regarding illegal eviction but i doubt one will take you case. (not enough money in it) Make sure you make clear to him what you consider to be your property, if he tries to keep any of it you might be able to sue to get it back or try to press charges for theft.
