Is there any way for a 16-year-old to move out of the parent's home without emancipation if they will not give their permission to leave?

Answer 1

I can't really answer that question without knowing what state you're in, because the laws vary from state to state, and not all states have emancipation laws. Generally speaking, you file a petition with the court, and a hearing is held. Your parents are notified and they are allowed to attend the hearing and contest it. You have to prove (among other things) that you're capable of fully supporting yourself--paying rent/utilities/food/etc--with no assistance, and that there is actually a legitimate reason the court should grant emancipation. That's a very basic overview. You need to check the laws in your state for more detailed information.

Answer 2

The legal definition of a emancipation of a minor is the ability of said minor to live independently of adult involvement which would include both parents whether or not they reside in the same household. The state of Oklahoma does not have grounds nor procedure for the emancipation of a minor. The court does have the means to grant confirmation of majority rights, which allows a minor to enter into legal contracts. This generally refers to a minor who is in the entertainment industry or something similar. However this action is seldom granted, usually in such cases the court will appoint a conservator, rather than an age majority decree.

Answer 3

You have to get amancipated. You have to go to a courthouse and say that you can live on your own and support yourself. All you have to do is prove that you can support yourself for 30 days and then you can became your own legal person. But you have to make sure that you are able to show the judges and the people that will be checking up on you that you can do it.
