Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
I am 18 and turning 19 in a few months, I want to move out but I know my dad wont let me, I am planning on secretly doing it, I need to know if it is illegal to take the things that belong to me when I leave, such as my clothes, and things I need everyday. Can I take them if I did not pay for them even thought they are mine? I need help..

If you are 18 your dad has no say in the matter, except as a matter of personal relations between you and him. Anything that is yours you are free to take. Just because it was given to you instead of paid for by you doesn't matter.
Turning 19 has nothing to do with it -- you became an adult for all purposes except alcohol when you turned 18. Too bad you have to sneak away, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
