Can you move out of your parents house at the age of 17 in Wisconsin?

Answer 1

Yes. It's the Law:

Section 125.07. Wisconsin prohibits alcohol possession or consumption by people under age 21 unless they are with a parent, guardian, or spouse over age 21.7 Wis. Stat. section 125.07(1)(a) sets forth restrictions and prohibitions against providing alcohol to such unaccompanied underage persons.8 Foremost among these is that no person9 "may procure for, sell, dispense or give away any alcohol beverages to any underage person not accompanied by his or her parent, guardian or spouse who has attained the legal drinking age."10 Wis. Stat. section 125.07(1)(a) also provides that an adult may not "knowingly permit or fail to take action to prevent" an underage person's illegal alcohol consumption "on premises owned by the adult or under the adult's control," except when alcohol beverages are used exclusively as part of a religious service.11 Because premises is defined as property subject to a liquor license or permit,12 courts to date have held that this proviso does not apply to other properties owned by adults, such as private residences.13 Additionally, an adult may not "intentionally encourage or contribute to" an underage person's illegal possession or consumption of alcohol.14 People who violate Wis. Stat. section 125.07(1)(a) are subject to a civil forfeiture penalty or, for repeat offenses, a misdemeanor conviction with a fine, jail time, or both.15

Answer 2

According to Wisconsin Statutes Section 880.04(1): Emancipation of married minors. Quote: Except for minors found to be incompetent, upon marriage, a minor shall no longer be a proper subject for guardianship of the person and a guardianship of the person is revoked by the marriage of a minor ward. Upon application, the court may release in whole or in part the estate of a minor ward to the ward upon the ward's marriage. Upon marriage, the guardianship of an incompetent is subject to review under s. 880.34.

Consistent with that statute, there is case law suggesting that it is possible to emancipate through lawful marriage, or also through active duty service in the armed forces. Niesen v. Niesen, 38 Wis. 2d 599; 157 N.W.2d 660 (1968)
