The legal age to move out of your house with parental consent is 17. Legally your parents cant make you leave your house if you dont want to until you're 18 without permission from the court. Parents are legally responsible for their children until they are 18. The legal age of majority in all but four states is 18. In Alabama and Nebraska the age of majority is 19, in Mississippi and Pennsylvania it is 21. An action such as a minor requesting with whom they want to live and being granted said request is not the prescribed procedure in the U.S. In a very few states a minor who is at least 16-years of age can petition for emancipation rights. There is, however a misconception that every minor who files will be granted an emancipation decree, the reality is, it seldom happens. That aside, a minor in the U.S. does not arbitrarily decide where or with whom they choose to live. Such issues are decided by a judge after prescribed due process has been followed. 17 See the Related Link for "Teen Advice Online: 'Should I Move out Before College?'" to the right for the answer.
