The little information i have found out about that is depending on what state but most states you can live on you own when your 16. im not sure if you have to have you parents perrmission or not but if they say no you may get amansappatted... sorry my spellings crappy. if you find out more information email me @ atomic_bonic_love@yahoo.com my question is relavent No, the age of legal majority in most states is 18, in Alabama and Nebraska it is 19 in Mississippi and Pennsylvania it is 21. There are some states that have a legal process for early emancipation of a minor who is at least 16 years of age. For more specific information you can consult the laws of your state or contact the clerk of the juvenile or family court in the county where you reside.
