Legally leaving home before age 18 is called emancipation. Emancipated minors are free from any obligation to remain physically with their parents - but their parents no longer have any legal or financial responsibility for them.
Generally, there are three ways to get emancipated: marriage, joining the military or petitioning a court. Most states require parental permission for marriage before a certain age. Joining the military requires a high school diploma or its equivalent. Successfully petitioning the court typically requires the applicant to show financial support, adequate living arrangements and a plan to complete secondary education,
The minimum age for emancipation varies from state-to-state. In most states, the minimum legal age to leave home is 16. In California, the minimum age to apply for emancipation is 14.
NOTE: Even when emancipated, the teenager does not have all the rights and responsibilities of an adult. He or she cannot vote or buy alcohol or tobacco products.
i believe that you can leave home when you are 18 years of age unless you get emancipated which you have to go to court and have it be approved by a judge then you can do what you want.
