Im going to be 18 on Dec 17. I am not graduating till the spring but i want to move in with my sister in the next town. Lets just say its for the best shall we? We have all our money worked out because we both have jobs. Can i still move out even though im in high school? My mom likes to think that i cant but about a year ago i talked to the public defender here in town and he said that i could. Once im18 im18 and im legal he said. I live in ohio and im in my second year at college. The high school pays for it...

Well lets just say, i have been to court 3 times with my stepdad hitting me. I think im moving out for the right reason. He got away with it 3 times. So i live with my sister on the week end anyways.

You will be a legal adult when you are 18. You can live anywhere you wish from that day forward.

If in the state of Ohio you become a legal adult , then yes you can move from your parental home.
Be sure you are moving for the right reasons though, once you get out on your own school becomes a second priority.
good luck to you.

If things are really that bad, you should get out. However at 18 I think you still hae a lot to learn before you are on your own. Maybe your best friends parents will let you stay with them. You still need a parent figure in your life until at least 25. I wish you the best of luck.

Yes, you can, as you will legally be an adult. But make sure you are ready to move out. I got into plenty of fights with my mom and dad...And I wanted to move out. And even had a chance to. But I didn't do so and I'm glad that I didn't.
You should focus on that school work, not on how you have to work your butt off to pay for rent.

as long as you're 18 you can move out. i'm 18 and live in ohio, it is possible to move out but if you are planning on getting an apartment there are some stipulations about being a full time college student, so make sure you really pay attention if that's what you're planning to do

You can move out when your 18 but i don't think thats wise since you said that your in your second year of college and the high school pays for it. can you go to that same highschool your going now? If you can't then their going to stop paying for it. Can you afford the college without the high school help?

Yes, at 18 you can legally leave home in all fifty states. You can leave earlier with a declaration of emancipated minor, but this requires going to court. Do what you like.

Yes - you can move out
One thing you may want to check on is if you move to another school district you may have to pay some form of tuition at your current high school after your move if you want to remain there

Ohio is the only state you ave to wait until your 21 to move out! You are very immature by your question and will not survive on your own. It's a cruel world out there.

Yes, you can legally move out. But I'll echo -- do it right, for the right reasons.
