Yes you can. But where do you plan on living? The streets? Unless your rich (your own money not your parents money) then it wouldn't be a good idea. Cost of living is super high. I'm 25, and I pay monthly for a car and have a decent job and I couldn't even afford to move out from home. Anyways, point is there are ppl I know who were able to move out at a young age, preferably having a roomate or gf and still make it. But that person had a well paying job, dropped out after highschool same w/ his gf so they could work all day and well so what they're living the chillin life, that is what it's all about right? living paycheck to paycheck, spending money only on booze and partying, never being able to travel like other kids. think about it, you may think right now you want nothing more to move out and find yourself changing your mind.

Missouri statute defines an adult as a person 17 years of age or older. So there, you can move out of your parents' house now.

Yes, you can get "emancipated" from your parents and this is a situation in which the judge may grant in your favor.  Check these sites out and try and get more proof of your mom behavior for the courts.  \n\nI dont know what state you live in but in california you only have to be 14 to get emancipated from your parents.

You are 24 and living at home still.  You hint that you are still home because your moving out would make parents unhappy.  OK.  Will you still be living home when your parents die at 80?  You never plan to travel, marry, or have a life of your own?  Mommy will still be making your bed when you're 40?  Cutting your meat?  Buying your clothes?  Buddy, you need to grow up, move out, and live like an adult.  Otherwise, you'll never have a life.

Your guardian would have to withdraw you from school first.  But, you may need to be at least 16\nPray really hard before you make this life changing decision.

You're an adult at 18 in any state in the union.  You can sue for emancipation before that, but you'll need a lawyer.

I'm 21 and finally getting tired of living at home. So I'm moving out. I'm going to let them know that I'm pursuing my life in the town I go to college; they would probably eventually give me the boot at around 25, I think, if I didn't.

As long as you are dependent on them for financial resources, basically.  Also: in the United States, until you turn 18, you are legally subject to their control in most things unless you are "judicially emancipated" (which is not easy or common).

It probably depends on what state you in to some degree.  Hopefully, the father will be understanding and let the boy decide where he wants to live.  (In less than a year, he can move out - legally - anyway.)  And, if it ends up in court, the judge will surely listen to the boy's opinion - though may not rule that way.\n\nThe legal age of a "minor" is less that 18 years, in most states.\n\nIt seems to avoid a battle, it should be discussed with the father before the boy visits you with the intent to stay.  He has less than a year to live with his dad if he decides to leave at 18, legally -- could be worse (could be younger).\n\n\nPerhaps, you could call your local state attorney's office and ask.  They should be able to give you quick, free advice.

18 (when you become an adult)

Technically, no, a parent can’t legally kick their child out at 17.  The child is a minor until the day they turn 18 and according to the Texas Family Code, a parent has “the duty to support the child, including providing the child with clothing, food, shelter, medical and dental care, and education” (along with many other duties and rights) provided that the child is not emancipated in some manner such as marriage or court decree.\n\nWith that said, I’ve known a lot of 17-year-olds that needed to be kicked out and have a dose of reality.  While the parents can’t legally kick them out, they can make their life at home very unpleasant by taking away every extra they have, grounding them, etc.  And the police can’t actually FORCE the parents to take the child back in.  They can, however, put the child in the custody of the state.  \n\nIf you’re worried about your nephew, send him money for a bus ticket to come to your house.

The age of majority is 18. That's when you're considered a legal adult and you can make all your own decisions. In some cases a minor can be legally emancipated. You would want to contact a family lawyer in your local area to ask about this. Otherwise you can't leave home without parental permission until you are 18-years-old.

I don't know of any state with laws that allow drop-outs until the age of 16.  Many states, even then, demand that parents have to sign the documents, too.  In the state of Indiana, a youth under the age of 16 cannot 'move in' with anyone else unless legally emancipated!  And, from the spelling of your question, it seems you would be doing yourself a favor to stay with a family where you CAN continue to go to school.  There are no employers out there where you can make any kind of basic salary who will hire someone without proof of schooling.
