I guess you could say around 18, but if you want some advice, stay as long as you can take it!

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.

First it does not matter, you are under the laws of your state, so if your state does not allow you to leave home till 18, if you ran off to another state, you could still be brought back to your state by the police and face charges in Juv court.\n\nAlso in no state in the US can you sign a legal contract,\nrent a house, get electric power and so on,  so even if you moved out, you would need an adult to do all the legal contracts.\n\nThere are a few states that allow 17 yr olds to move out.

When you have a stable job that pays the bills and you can afford to move out.  You'll know when you are ready to move out.

I think that emancipated means that you no longer live with your parents and are now legally responsible for yourself, even tho you are not of legal age yet.  You have to go to court for this to happen.

Depends on the state. In South Carolina, the child can leave without permission at 16, but cannot be forced out. At 18, the child can be forced out. Ask your local social services.

Yeah, I think it's a great idea for most 16yo's to have to go out & live on their own. That way they can learn to appreciate just how good they have it at home, & that having to follow a few rules for 4 or 5 more years is a small price to pay, compared to actually having to make it on their own.\nThey would have to buy their own food, & clothes, & pay rent, & have to buy their own cool stuff, & have to still go to school & work a job as well if they realy want to have a future.\n\nDon't get me wrong. I am well aware that SOME 16yo's have a damn good reason for wanting to get out of a bad situation at home, & I have seen some who find the sacrifices that they have to make by moving out to be a better alternative to staying at home. But you didn't say why you want to leave, & if you are a typical 16yo who wants to move out, it's because there are RULES at home, & you just don't think you have to follow them.\nOn your own you will soon learn that there is no escape from rules. Even your parents have to follow rules. For every action, there is an equal & opposite reaction, & it sticks with you for life.\n\nI can promise you this. At 16 in the real world you won't be able to live completely on your own. You'll be dependant on the support of others for a few years to come.

I think most kids move out of the parents' homes for good some time in their 20s.\n\nIf they start working after turning 18 and graduating high school instead of going to college, they might move out on their own a bit sooner, if they save their money and have a steady job.\n\nI think most kids rent an apartment after college with a roommate from work at their first job or that they find through the classifieds or through mutual friends. When I moved out of my folk's place, I was early 20s and working. I rented a room in a townhouse from someone.\n\nSome (maybe most) women still live with their parents until they get married.  Often that means well into their 20s or even after they are in their 30s.\n\nI think it really depends on the individual, their parents, the existing home situation, how much the kid brings home each monty, and how much the cheapest room or apartment is in the area.  Also, transportation from the new home to the workplace is also a pretty important concern.\n\nAs finding housing is a key factor - and the first time it is hard to know how to start - I am including a couple of links that _may_ be helpful.\n\nI have never used either one, since I switched from renting to buying my own place before the Web was invented. However, they demonstrate there are lots of places and rooms for rent out there.\n\nGoing out and looking at the ones that seem to meet your budget and other requirements is kind of fun. A little scary the first time, but very exciting too.

I think you need to be legally "emancipated" because otherwise, your parents would still be responsible for you (and liable for any thing you do) until you're 18.  You can check with the local social services department on the process of becoming an emancipated minor.

I moved out at 16 but I wouldnt advise moving out that early, between 18 and 21 is a good time but I wouldnt stay past 21 if possible

I dont know the laws in Onterio so I cant help you out with knowing the legal age to be adult.  \n\nBut I have to say that if you are unhappy and feel unsafe at home then you need to leave.  But you need to do it legal or you will get in trouble and that will not help you at all.\n\nIf you mother really does have a tumor that is probably why she is acting the way she is.  Have you thought about that.?

once your child is 16 you're no longer responsible for their actions. it depends on the situation, however, because if they child decides to move out on their own then they're allowed and you're no longer responsible. at the same time, however, if you're refusing to take care of your child when they need it, you're to blame.\n\nit more so depends on the situation, really. if it's something you can't control, then you're not responsible.

Probably 18 without parent and 16 with. Also if you are going to do this make sure you do some research on costs because some can be pretty expensive.

A 17 year old could move away from home if they have their parents’ or legal guardian’s permission, like to go to college. Or, a 17 year old could become legally emancipated and enjoy the same freedoms as any other person who is at least 18 years old. In some states, emancipation is automatic if the 17 year old gets married. It could also be ordered by the courts.

You have a couple of options:\n1) Do like Lizzie Borden  (ax + 40 whacks = no more parental issues)\n2) Move out - hey, at age 35, you can get a place of your own)\n3) Realize your parents don't run your life, and just do what you darned well please whether they like it or not.\n\nGood luck.

My guess is that Michigan law is the same as most other states. When you are 18 you are by law a adult. There fore you have a right to put him or her out just as you have a right to tell any one visting your home to leave.
