Legal Question in Immigration Law in Tennessee

HI, I am 18 years old, my parents and i got in an argument about 8 months ago over my engagement, and i had moved out. I have not lived with my parents for almost 8 months now, and they will not give me my green card, passport or Birth Certificate. Is this legal to do? or this there any way i can go about getting these things from them through a legal action? I have heard that it is a federal offense for them to hold that on me since i am now 18, what can i do?

These are your documents, and they should give it to you. In addition, if you are over 18, and it's the age of majority in your State, you are no longer considered a minor child.
