How do I move out?

Question

Hey everyone! I am 20 yrs old and am still living at home with my parents but am seriously considering moving out. I have a couple of questions that I'm hoping someone can help me with. First of all, my parents dont like the guy that i plan to move in with. If i tell them that i am moving out against their will, especially with him they will try to take my car away and also prevent my from taking my stuff out of the house. My question is if they are allowed to take my car if it is in my name? The car is fully paid off but they do pay the insurance. I am willing to start paying it on my own if i move out but i want to make sure that they cant take me to court for stealing the car anything. And secondly, can they prevent my from moving out? Should I even tell them that im moving out or should i just leave one day? Any comments and suggestions are welcome. Thank You!

Answer 1

Your parents can't stop you from moving out. They can't take the car away from you or call the police on you if your name is on the title to the car. I would get your own car insurance before you move out that way your parents can't say that they pay the insurance. Also, if you paid for the things you have, your parents can't keep it from you. It is your stuff. If I were you, I wouldn't tell your parents you are moving out. Pack up your things slowly then just move out one day when they are not home. Leave them a note saying that you moved out and give them your new address. Good Luck

Well, seems like you really like this guy. I do however agree with the one guy that answered your question when he said, " move into your own place." As far as the car is concerned if it's in your name no they can't take it away from you. However, those two people will be your parents until the day you die. Don't mess up your relationship with the only mother and father you have. I can't help but think there is more to this story that you are not telling. But if you want an honest answer you have to ask a honest question. I am telling you it is not easy trying to do it alone. Who's to say you two move in together and say two are three months later he leaves. Are you going to be able to stand on your own? Do some research first. Look in the paper for the type of place you plan on getting. Then total up the nessary thhings you need. Like food, cover, pots and pans cause your not gonna be able to eat out everyday, plates, forks, knifes, spoons, can opener, mop, broom, kitchen towels, bath towels, soap, sheets etc.... total it all up about how much it's gonna cost. Don't forget to include gas for the week from paycheck to paycheck. Then think about if he leaves are you gonna have to go apologise to your parents and ask for forgiveness so you can move back home or can you still stand alone. Just walk around your parents house right now and add up all the things your gonna need in your new place. Just so you'll get an idea. If after that you still want to go then by all means good luck. Be an adult about it cause sneaking your belongings out of the house sounds to much like something a kid would do. You want your parents to treat you like an adult act like one. Just tell them how you feel make them know that you want to try your wings and you would love for them to still be on your side regardless of the outcome. But you do need your car to get back and forth from work and you make sure you have some insurance so that they can see you have started to take responsibility. Good Luck and God Bless!!!!!

Yikes. well if the car is in your name it is yours. You do need to get insurance in you name. You need to take some time and prepare to move out. Buy the many things you use everyday that are not yours, like cleaning supplies, towels,, dishes, there is a lot involved. I would recommend that you not move in with this guy. Move out on your own, you will gain respect from your parents and they will probably help you. You need a lot of money saved, for deposit, and first months rent, car repairs that may come up, or even just a period of time that you are too sick to work. I have helped many people prepare to move out and they always say they had no idea how much was involved. What do your parents pay for now that you forget about? Let me tell you Utilities are really expensive right now, not to mention how many times have you borrowed say just $20 from your mom, and she never asked for it back. Add all those $20's up and well it is alot. What about the stuff like toilet paper, paper towels, kleenex, i dred buying these things because they are expensive and it is pointless to buy the smallest package because then you are buying it every week. Plus look at the freedom you have with your money now, because you won't be buying all that fast food, soda at the gas station, or going out every weekend when you move out. Open a savings account and start saving.

Answer 4

Your parents can not prevent you from moving out. However, if you truely want to be on your own, you need to leave the car behind. That is the first step to being able to make it on your own. You have to be able to afford your own things. Work on getting your own car and save some money before thinking of moving out. This will save you a lot of pain later when you need money for something. I have no idea how long you have been with the man you intend on moving in with, but I would make very sure that this is what you want. Thank you and good luck.

Is the guy worth it u need to ask yourself that,y dint they like him,if he ever hit u be for it's not going to stop i was in the same situation i did leave with the car and didn't talk to my parent's for like 3 year's and it was so so hard i got pregnant at 21 the guy hit me all the time but on the other hand told me he loved me i was so young and stupid any way if the guy is cool and works well that's up to u but your young i would move in with a girl friend and date guy's dont waste your life i wish i new than what i no now thing's would have been so so different

Answer 6

well i would talk it over with them first and see what the problem is that the have with your boyfriend...see if you can fix or satisfy their worries.

Next start paying for your insurance and I'm not really sure if they can take it away from you but if they bought it then possibly but not sure.

Talk to them before making the big move...don't ruin your relationship with your parents until finding out their concerns and then work on them before moving out.

Good luck
