What age can you move out in Georgia?

Answer

Georgia has a unique conflict in the law that teens can take advantage of. You are not legally an adult until age 18 (for Contract puposes, as in leasing an apartment in your name), but you can now go to jail at age 17. So, since you can be jailed at 17, you can also leave home at 17, and you cannot get in trouble or be forced to return; however, you cannot be kicked out until age 18. Your answer: 17.


 

Answer

The legal age for both male and female is eighteen (18).

17, why do you ask?




Georgia is a very unique situation. A child cannot be kicked out until the age of majority (18), but if the child leaves on his/her own, the child cannot be charged as a runaway or forced to return at the age of 17.
