Question: What are the legal age limits in California?

The legal age of consent in California is 18 years old. The age of consent refers to the age at which a person can legally marry and/or engage in sexual acts.

What can you do when you turn 15 in California?

In California, except for a few restrictions relating to real and personal property, a minor may also make valid legal contracts. A minor may also consent to medical treatment if he or she is: at least 15 years of age, living apart from parents, and managing his or her own personal finances.

Can you move out at 14 in California?

You must be at least fourteen years old. You must be living apart from your parents with their consent. You must be managing your finances and have a legal source of income. The judge must find that emancipation is in your best interest.

By the time a youth is 17 years old, they are on the cusp of young adulthood and nearing the day where they will gain certain legal rights to choose their own living situations. In general, a youth must be 18 to legally move out without a parents permission.
