How can you move out of your parents' house at just 16?

Answer 1

You are talking of quite a risky thing right there. But if it comes to that point, you can call your local social service office and explain your case. Besides that, check here: http://www.jlc.org/index.php/factsheets/emancipation They have all the information you need about that. Best of luck with what you do! In the few US states that allow the emancipation of minors the minimum age for such now stands at 16. That being said, emancipation decrees are rarely granted by any judge in any state. If the minor believes themselves to be in an environment of neglect and/or abuse they should enlist the assistance of a trusted adult in the contacting of the state's division of child protective services. Or call the National Child Abuse Hotline toll free at 1-800-422-453 or 1-800-252-2873, for assistance, all information is kept confidential.

Answer 2

A 16 year old cannot move out of their parents house because legally, they would have to 18 in order to take care of themselves.

Depending in the laws where the 16 year old lives, they could file for Emancipation with the courts.

Another way to legally move out would be to get married or to join the Armed Forces, both of which would require parent/guardian consent.

Answer 3

Legally? they cannot!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, If A minor moves out and they turn 18 before the parents find them, Then its A done deal.,,,,,,,,, If the parents do find them then they have to answer to what they have done. Also if Child services gets involved they are A ward of the state until they turn 21. If an adult helps the minor, the adult can be charged with kidnapping even after the minor has turned 18.

Answer 4

A 16-year-old cannot move out of their parents' house (assuming of course the parents have custody) without parental consent or being emancipated by the court.

Answer 5

You would have to be emancipated.
