Question

can I give custody of my 17 year old boy to himself ?



Answer

No, but you can allow him a great deal of freedom, even allowing him to live on his own. Just remember that, until he is 18, you are ultimately responsible for making sure he is properly fed, clothed, healthy, etc. If you let him leave the house and he begins to starve, you would be responsible.



Answer

No. You are legally responsible for the minor until emancipation - age 18
