 The answer is no he can't but remember that once you leave he is no longer responsible for you and does not under any circumstances have to take you back. I would reall think this one though, there is a lot of worked needed to be on your own but if that is what you truely want you have to follow your heart. Just be prepared. Best of luck to you.

 No, you're an adult. You make your own choices now. Don't be too quick to leave though, the world is more tough than most people your age realize. Many of my friends moved out at 18 and 19 and I stayed at home. I didn't pay rent, buy my own groceries, or pay for utilities. Just be sure it's what you really want and that you have a back up plan. Good luck.

You need to find a job if you dont already have one, make a budget, find a place to live, do you have a car? will you need your parents for anything anymore? I ask that because i left at age 17 almost 18 and my mom never helped me with anything ever again! So watch out you better have a plan! But yes you can do whatever you want at age 18 your are an adult and can act like one.

 Technically no, you're no longer a minor..You're actually of legal age and a young adult.
I would have a game plan of where you are moving to, and who with. Do you have a job? At 18 getting a place of your own isn't exactly ideal..it's very, very expensive plus most apartments, renters won't approve an 18 year old due to the lack of credit history. In the rarity they do, you would have to have a co signer..meaning your dad. Not to mention rent, utilities, groceries, cable/internet can get really costly. I would look into first before you take the big step of leaving your home. Do make sure that your dad will let you come back home if you can't cut it living on your own or with a roommate.
