The law states that if you leave home at 16yrs you can be advise to move back home but can not be made therefore to legal age you can move out is 16yrs - applicable to both girls and boys. In every state, a person (both male and female) under the age of 18 is a minor and therefore their parents have the right to decide where they can/cannot live...unless you have been legally emancipated by the court.

18 years old in most states. Some may have something else needed in order to move out on you own, such as not being able to move out until your 18 or have graduated high school, which ever comes last.

This varies from state to state. I suggest you consult with a youth services provider in your area to confirm your age for emancipation.
