Age of majority in most states is 18.
The legal age in most places for becoming emancipated (moving out on your own) is 16, but it requires absolute proof that the child can be responsible in maintaining a stable lifestyle.
Age of consent in most places is 18. This applies to 2 issues:Being able to be tried as an adult and sexual consent.In most places some cases are brought up to the courts when the person was 17 or soon to turn 18. The courts drop most of these as it is a waste of resources.
The legal age for alcohol consumption is 21. the legal age for tobacco is 18.
Yes she can have you move back in. The police cannot arrest you and take you back though. She has to enforce this particular law through the courts. She must file a petition with the courts, receive a summons and obtain a court order signed by a magistrate or judge presiding in the same county. Once she has this order she can call the police and show them the warrant which they must enforce. This is how this has been done in most cities. Sometimes, after the police and the judges investigate the current living conditions of the minor, they will take it into account. If they are pleased and satisfied there is no significant reason to move the child back in, the courts will defer this petition, until the child turns 18. Then they withdrawal or deny the petition.

In Texas you can move out if your 17 they consider my son an adult, the cops said he can move but am response for him until he get 18, but he don't have to live with me, check in your state the laws, if you living with a relative and almost 18 it shall not be a problem, your not living in the streets, continue to go to school and I roll in collage live on the campus

If it have been me, it relied on what i presumed-approximately and how lots I relied on him. He does not could have him mom's permission to get a job in view that he's 17. in easy terms once you're under sixteen do you're able to have make certain permission. He in basic terms needs to have a sit down down with the lady's mothers and fathers and ask them in the present day up. possibly the mothers and fathers can do a freelance for him to sign pointing out he won't abuse their generosity with the help of messing around with their daughter and if this contract is ever broken he's out that day. i'm an open sufficient individual i might in all threat enable this to ensue under strict policies, yet that's in basic terms me and each make certain is distinctive. in basic terms tell him to be truthful together with her mothers and fathers and bypass from there. that's extremely the only element he can do if he needs to bypass in with them.

Hope you enjoyed yourself for the time you were out in the real world.But it is time for you to return home with your mom.She cannot have you put in jail but she can have you placed in juvenile detention it's like jail through.I'm pretty sure that you want to keep your freedom living at home with the parents.Don't rush to get out there in the real world just yet cause it can and will be very hard.so I hope that you will enjoy all the good things and appreciate living off of your parents while you can.

Your not on the legal age yet... If something happens police will think you are a run away, move back into your mom's house..Yes she can do that since you are not 18!

A parent can give their minor child permission to live somewhere else (provided it’s a safe and appropriate environment) and they can rescind that permission at any time.
Where you actually turn 18 you can decide where you live.

I don't know about jail but you would be considered a run-away. There could be fines involved. It could land you in a foster home if you continue to "run-away" .
