What is the legal age that a teenager can move out of the house without a parent's permission in Wisconsin?

Answer 1

The answer depends on where you live. States vary in minor emancipation laws. However, as a general rule, you are considered a non-adult until you reach the age of 18 ("age of majority"). Unless you are able to prove yourself financially self-supportive and sufficient and you can demonstrate a siginificant threat to your well-being (i.e., abuse, neglect, death threats), most judges will not allow for emancipation. Even then, more often than not people are placed under temporary foster care until they come of age. Emancipation is viewed as a last legal resort to other viable circumstances.

In Alabama and Nebraska the legal age of majority is 19, in Mississippi it is 21, and in all other states it is 18.

The requirements for emancipation:

Minors who marry or join the armed forces generally qualify for emancipation. In addition, most states allow emancipation of minors upon proof that they are capable of living as adults. These laws vary from state to state, but they generally require that: (1) the minor is managing her own finances, has a legal source of income, and is not financially dependent on her parents; (2) the minor is living independently from her parents (some states require a separate residence; others allow emancipation of minors who still live in their parents= home but pay rent or otherwise show independence); and (3) emancipation would be in the minor=s best interest.

Answer 2

From what I've read you can move out at 17 and emancipation isn't required. You do have to have a steady job and an acceptable place to stay.i heard you can get emancipated at the age of 17 1/2 but i think that's dumb you should be able to get emancipated at the age of 16 at least. But yea as far as i know you can get emancipated at the age of 17 1/2 in the state of Wisconsin.

There is no age on emancipation in Wisconsin. You have to be 18 to aquire those rights.

Answer 3

Generally, no. The age of majority is 18 in most Western countries and most US states (in Alabama and Nebraska it is 19; in Mississippi and Pennsylvania it is 21). To move out at 17 you need parental permission or legal emancipation that recognizes you as an adult.

AnswerIn the state of Missouri, 17 year olds are recognized as adults- so yes you can. There's nothing that the police can do to you unless: 1) You are on a type of probation. If you are go speak with them about you moving out. 2) If you are not mentally stable.

My advice to is get as much as you can out of your house before you are done living there. When i left my house at 17 my dad kept everything i owned and there's wasn't anything the law could do to make him give it back. My parents tried everything to make it hell for me afterwards,but keep your head up and be smart about when and why you do it.

ANSWER

In the state of Michigan if you are under guardianship you can not move out when you are 17. If your parents or someone has full custody you can move out

Answer 4

This is not legal advice and should not be relied upon as such. Consult the specific laws for the state and county in which you reside for the rules that apply. In most states, any 18 year old is considered an adult and is capable of deciding when and where they reside. They have the ability to contract for housing. SOME states allow minors to become emancipated under specific circumstances, but this is not just a matter of filling out some paperwork. A minor is the responsibility of their parents until such time as they reach the age of majority or are legally emancipated. The parents are required to provide for the support of their minor children. If the parents give permission, the minor can live in another location. Such permission does not relieve the parents of the responsibility to provide support. If the parents do not give permission, the minor can be considered a runaway. Charges may apply to individuals that aid and abet such runaways, particularly if they are under the age of consent. In some states it is my understanding that this is not enforced for 17 year olds that leave home. If you are subject to abuse, you should contact social services for your area. They will assist you in getting out of the bad environment and into a safe place.

Answer 5

Wisconsin is the only state that has self-help emancipation for minors. A minor who is at least 17 years of age and has an acceptable residence and supportable income may leave parental custody if they so choose. Under other circumstances the state's legal age of majority is 18.

Answer 6

At 17, you can not move out of your parents home in the state of Wisconsin without their consent. Nor can you marry without their consent. Technically, there is a legal option called Emancipation - however this takes a significant amount of time and the court is going to require very valid reasons for this to be deemed appropriate. Just because you and your parents disagree about something or aren't getting along - isn't going to be significant enough. And if you do have a good reason - your best bet is to have significant proof - if you make up allegations it is not going to help you out in the long run. You also would have to prove to the court that you are responsible enough to care for yourself, provide your own safe housing, provide your own health insurance, provide your own food, and still do well in school! (This option could take more than a year in time!) Honestly, it's probably not the answer you want to hear - but your best bet is to go to school, do well, try to get along with your folks and see if when you're 18 you still want to make this decision - if you do - there is rarely anything they can do to stop you at 18!
