Can a Guardian (parent) force a 17 year old to move out of their house in Colorado?
<p>My Father, who has custody of me, has threatened to force me to move out of his house. If I am 17, and live in Colorado can he make me move out?</p>

<p>He doesn't seem to care who I move in with but I think he is assuming I'll move in with my Mom (who does not have legal custody)</p>

<p>I assume you are not legally emancipated. To evict anyone, there is a legal process – nobody can just kick a tenant out, without the appropriate court order. <a href="http://columbinelaw.com/2018/02/05/evicting-your-adult-child/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">These guys</a> describe the process for evicting an <em>adult</em> child (where the child does not have a lease and is a tenant at will). A custodial parent has a legal obligation to provide, among other things, a place for the child to live. Kicking a child out is contrary to that obligation, and could constitute child abandonment ("neglect" under <a href="https://law.justia.com/codes/colorado/2016/title-19/article-3/part-1/section-19-3-102" rel="nofollow noreferrer">CRS 19-3-102</a>), and that is a crime. A court would not grant a parent's motion to evict a minor child. If a landlord takes the law into his own hands, as it were, he can be sued under <a href="https://codes.findlaw.com/co/title-38-property-real-and-personal/co-rev-st-sect-38-12-510.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">CRS 38-12-510</a>.</p>
