Military child reaches age of majority and wants to move out can parent with hold belongings.?

A friend turned 18 recently and is living on base. She wants to move out of her house hold and in with her girlfriend. Can her mother with hold her belongings from her?Military child reaches age of majority and wants to move out can parent with hold belongings.?
It depends on what you are referring to. If you are referring to the furniture in her room, unless she paid for it or it was a gift from an adult, that furniture belongs to her parents and not your friend. She was permitted to use it while she lived under her parent's roof but she has no ownership of it.





As for her clothing and personal effects, she should be able to remove them but what is she going to do if her mother refuses to let her take them? Call the military police? She would be better off by gradually removing her belongings (cd by cd, etc.), starting with her most favorite items, each time she leaves the base and storing them in a storage locker. And then when she is left with not much that is important to her, if her mother won't let her take it with her, it won't matter. Tell her not to forget to take all her personal id (military, birth certificate, ssn card) plus her medical and education records with her. If her mother destroys them, she will be in a mess.





Good luck!Military child reaches age of majority and wants to move out can parent with hold belongings.?
if she is moving out she can take anything that belongs to her, they are legally her things now especially anything that she bought with her own money.
