Can a 15-year-old move out with parental permission in North Carolina?

Unless the 15 year old wants to apply for emancipation and become their own legal gaurdian, they cannot move out. At 15, you can gaurantee there will be dissagreements, fights and heartache in the home. Unless there is abuse, deal with it and realize it will get better as you mature and grow up. * Just FYI, a 15-year-old cannot petition for emancipation in NC. You must be at least 16 in order to petition.
