Parents can give permission for a minor to temporarily (3 months or less) reside with another acceptable adult, a longer stay requires permission from the court to insure that authorities would not intervene. The parents would still be legally and financially responsible for the minor unless the court ruled otherwise. If there is "just cause" or the state of residency has the grounds and procedures for emancipation, the parent(s) and/or the 16-years-old can petition the court for an emancipation decree. All states have an established legal age that must be met; neither the minor, the parents or a legal guardian can circumvent the law and allow a minor to reside on their own w/o adult supervision or w/o being legally emancipated.

Moving out of a parents house at the age of 16 legally, depends on where the person resides. In most states, a child cannot legally move out of a parents home because they are not of the states age of majority. A child can move out at 16 if they are legally emancipated by the courts.

I dont noe about that but i dont think you should do that. i am also a teenager and if you go out on your own, dat dont mean your not gonna make it, but you're gonna lose alot of money. u alone depending on your self when you have family that could help you and take care of you. if its freedom you want, then ask for it from whomever you live with. dats the best thing. (in my opinion)

I believe that at 16yrs old you are not prepared to live by you're self, and you are underage nobody would rent an apartment to you.

Sixteen is not yet even close to the age of adulthood. You cannot move without parental permission.

Can you move out at the age of 16 years old if your grandmother is 62 years old and has several health problems?

As you've asked the question, one has nothing to do with the other. However, the critical part of your question is whether a 16-year-old child can move out. Short answer, No, not legally. At sixteen, whether you like it or not, you are a minor. As a minor, you must be protected in the eyes of the law, and often that means from yourself. You as a minor, no matter how intelligent you might be, lack the knowledge or experience to care for yourself. So, you must be supervised, accompanied, cared for by an adult.

As long as they have parental consent, a 16 year old can live where they want. However, it does not mean the parents have no responsibility for the welfare of the child.
