Can you legally move out of your parents home at the age of 17 in Tennessee?

Answer 1

If you have a job a place to live and ways to get to and from work and school you can petition the court to become emancipated. Which basically means disowning your parents and they will have no control over you or what you do. (You do have to go to court to get Emancipated though)

Answer 2

my friend ran away when she was 17 and when her mom called the cops and they told her that as long as she has a place to live and is still in school there is not much the law can do for the parent. If my friend had been under 17 then the cops would have taken her to juvinile hall. so for all those teens who have had enough with their parent's when you turn 17 as long as you have a place to go and are still in school or studing for your GED then you can move out. my friend is living with her boyfriend and is making really good grades in school and i plan to do the same thing because sometimes my parent's distract me from what is important because they are trying to live their life through me. babygirl
