Can you leave home at 16?

Answer 1

Answeryes as long as a different responsible adult adopts you. AnswerIn order for someone else to 'adopt' you or receive custody of you, they would have to follow the proper legal procedures. Unless your parents are proven to be unfit, it�s not going to happen.

As long as your parents have custody, they get to decide where you live.

You could check the laws of your state for information about emancipation. It *may* be possible for you to petition for emancipation in your state if you are capable of fully supporting yourself and have *valid* reasons why it would be in your best interest. Be aware that emancipation is not a quick or easy process, and more often than not, is denied.
