There are no age limits on dating, and the legal age of consent to sexual contact, etc., is 17 so there is no age limit on a person's partner once they turn 17. However, one cannot choose to move out from a parent's home without the parent's permission until they are 18, and the parents can keep the older person away from their property by trespass warning the older person.
