what age can you kick your kid out in Texas?
818038
Technically, no, a parent can’t legally kick their child out at 17.  The child is a minor until the day they turn 18 and according to the Texas Family Code, a parent has “the duty to support the child, including providing the child with clothing, food, shelter, medical and dental care, and education” (along with many other duties and rights) provided that the child is not emancipated in some manner such as marriage or court decree.\n\nWith that said, I’ve known a lot of 17-year-olds that needed to be kicked out and have a dose of reality.  While the parents can’t legally kick them out, they can make their life at home very unpleasant by taking away every extra they have, grounding them, etc.  And the police can’t actually FORCE the parents to take the child back in.  They can, however, put the child in the custody of the state.  \n\nIf you’re worried about your nephew, send him money for a bus ticket to come to your house.

Generally, once a child turns 18, he or she can be kicked out of the parents' home.\n\nIn some cases, the child doesn't even have to be 18 to be kicked out of the home.\n\nhttp://www.faqfarm.com/Q/Can_parents_kick_you_out_of_the_house_if_you're_under_18

In most states you have three days to cancel a contract. \n\nAs far as backing out in Texas, that really depends on how far you are from the border.  I wouldn't want to drive backwards over 50 miles.

a mother has a right to evict him in an untimely matter, actually. sometimes kids need tough love-a kick in the butt to get them moving.

You must be 21 in most cases.  In some cases you can be 18 or 19 if they dont serve drinks.

it depends on how mature the child is. of course there are laws that have required age limits on things like that.

dont quote me on it but I believe the coiurts want the child to at least 13 years of age. The judge has to ask the child and he or she must tell him on record but will be taken to a private area away from both parents as to not feel pressured into the decision

If you children are minors, then yes. You cannot just leave them there, they will report you for abandonment.\n\nIf they are legally adults, then no. You do not have to do this and I suggest that you don't. Don't let them think that you are their failsafe for committing crimes and getting bailed out. Good luck.

I believe in the state of texas it is legal for a 17 year old to move out. Call the court house to find out though. also look into Legal Emancipation.\nPS-living outside of your parents place is not cheap, health insurance is expensive, dental ins, car ins, gas prices, cell phone bill, electricity (i live north of dallas in Denton (college town)) 1 bedroom apartment kept at 85 degrees during the summer ran about 90 bucks a month, at least. I am sure you dont want to live in one of the shit-hole All bills paid places where you can here your neighbors argue, also dont forget rent prices and food. FOOD can cost alot!\nALSO, to move into your own place (roomates cause legal problems) you will need a cosigner, meaning your parents may need to sign your apartments lease. seeing how Houston tends to get some smacking from hurricanes and such you may want renters insurance.\n\nOh yeah, "Dont forget to bring a towel"

It depends on the state. Some say 18. And some will let you get it done earlyer with a parents written ok.

I am a parent but I only have six years experience.  Still, you need to kick his little a** out.  I know he is your kid, but dang.  He is taking you for granted, you need to teach him how to take care of himself.  What is he going to do when you aren't there?

Statutory rape is called "indecency with a child" in Texas. The statute of limitation limits it to 10 years from the child's 18th birthday.

Well in alot of states and court systems when 2 parents divorce a 12 year old can say whom they want to live with and it also has been known that 12 year olds were able to divorce their parents as well.  I would say probably 12, but, you can get legal help to see what your state laws are and if the laws has changed since then. In my opinion, she should be able to decide, she's old enough to figure out what she wants and she should be heard. Good luck!

Check with local probate court if there is such a legality.  If child is a very responsible person, might be okay, unless that child is babysitting babies.  You know your child better than anyone.  How long would parents be out?  Most children that age are too immature to be left alone.
