At 16 can you move out of your house?

I think your stupid for moving out, your parents are probably spanking you right. Well, if that is the case, it’s not abuse. I think that you all think you know everything, as teens, and to tell you the truth, you don’t, so wisen up and stay with your parents. Your mother and father raised you since you were babies, so get over it. You can’t pick your family anyway.

Does Michigan recognize liberated teens? If so, your friend might have to call the Clerk of the Circuit Court to find out the procedure.

THEN LET HER MOVE IN BUT HER FAMILY SHOULD GO THOUGH SO CONSELING ALSO

In Canada yes you can dont know about everywhere else though, I hitchicked across the country when I was 16, and nothing bad happened to me, im 25 now with a daughter and wife, no cops chased me down and the law told my parents there was nothing that could be done. dont fear life experiance live it, I spent from 16 to 19 on the highway and wouldnt change my past even if I could, those were some of the best years of my life!!

The job and license thing does not matter! The only way she can live with you and your parents is if her mom writes and SIGNS a letter of approval, or if she has her parents go through the court and imancipates her. I got arrested 3 times when I was 16 for trying to live on my own with out proof of parents consent. So be sure you get them papers of some sort, or you and your parents could get in a lot of trouble for letting her live there!

omg my friend has exactly the same problem! im on the phone with her right now! I want her to move in with me but I dont know how..she is almost suicidal and lives in a horible enviroment. she turns 14 in a week and we want to move in with eachother when shes 15. her dad is ok but her stepmom is sooo suckish.she wants her to fail 8th grade, I know because I was on the phone when she said it one of the times after she told her step mom she got axccepted into a high school. she blames everything on her and im on the phone for hours with her every night trying to figure out ways so she can move in with me because my mom said that if it was legal she would let her stay here because we have plenty of room. I want to figure out a legal way for her to move in with me when she is 15, please help me and my friend out!

shawdowb your an arss hole, maybe you are one of those people who got everything you wanted when you where a teen or maybe you had a great relationship with your parents, perhaps these other people are not mentioning other sides to their story because its there own privet business. I am in the same boat as them, except im 15 I get sent to a boarding school 600k from them and they expect me to be all la-de-da about it. I’ll be frank with you, im not happy with it, I dont like my parents much, they are good to me but they dont understand, they dont like me staying at my boyfriends place on weekends because they think we’re just going to have sex, which we arn’t just yet, waiting till were both 16.

Point of the story is, don’t go judging these people and saying there inmature, because there not, you dont know the full story. Get your facts straight mate.

no, she cant she has to prove that she has transportashion and a house and she has to have a job and prove shes paying atleast 2 bills or helping pay 2 bills in the house she is staying at and you have to be 17 and take your parents to court

my friend gets abused at home and he wants to move out at the age of 16 is he allowed to without his parents permission?

I live in canada and im only 15 years old. I would like to know what would happen and what my mom could do and what could happen to me if i decided to get the balls to leave my house and not go through any more stuff at home and be depressed and hate my life. I would like to know if i could end up going to a girls home or child and family services, or if id have to wait til im 16 to be able to leave without any of that.

I am 16 and on the verge of suicide with the crap that goes on at my house, my friend says that its ok with her parents if I live with her…my mom always threatens to kick me out of the house, if she tells me to leave and I do and I go to live with my friend will I get in trouble? what papers will I need? will I get arrested if I do this?

Many laws may be involved her. The girl may have to court to become an emancipated minor. If she does not she wil still need her parents signature for medical care, school issues, and other legal things like contracts etc. Her parents could sign custody documents giving another family the right to make legal decisions, but this probably requires court or legal asistance to do properly. If she is in danger at home, the state or county family services department should be called to help get her out safely. Be sure rules of your house are set forth before she moves in. Often the problems a person has at home are not just because of the parents, it may be because the child is difficult and does not cooperate or stay within family limits.

Okay so i would have to go through court. The only problem is my friend is perfectly fine it’s her step dad that treats her like she’s dirt. Her mom refuses to acknowlede the problem. My friend is on the point of suicide and i’m trying to help. But her parents do NOTabuse her physically or sexually so the courts wouldn’t do anything about her being taken out of her home.

The word “emancipation” literally means to become free from the control or restraint of another. In the context of emancipated minors, emancipation is essentially a legal procedure whereby children become legally responsible for themselves and their parents are no longer responsible (financially or otherwise) for their children. Thus, emancipated children are freed from parental custody and control and essentially become “adults” in many ways.

Parents generally have the legal right to custody and control of their unemancipated minor children. Parents can decide where their children will live, what school they will attend, what medical treatment they will receive, and what religion their children will practice. An emancipated minor, on the other hand, is free from such custody and control.

Emancipation in General

As soon as an individual turns 18 he or she legally becomes an adult and is automatically emancipated from such parental custody and control. Likewise, when a minor marries or joins the armed forces (with parental consent and permission from the court), he or she becomes emancipated from his or her parents.

Although in some states a minor can become emancipated simply by declaring himself or herself emancipated, in California a minor over the age of 14 has to petition the court and obtain a declaration of emancipation from a judge Ö a complex proceeding.

Some parts of the United States have quite liberal procedures. Louisiana and Puerto Rico, whose legal systems rely heavily on European law, allow parents to confer a limited form of emancipation on their children with very little interference from the judicial system. A number of states or regions such as Illinois and the Virgin Islands also allow an expedited form of emancipation with parental consent, although this legal procedure is only designed for older teenagers.

If it is YOUR house, you can move out if you wish. If it were your house, this would mean that you pay the bills, mortgage/rent, etc. and that you would already have been emancipated. If it is your parents or guardians house, this is a different story. Do you have a job that will keep you in enough money to pay your insurance, rent, bills, and all the other stuff that is involved? If you can prove to the judge that you can be 100% responsible and support yourself, you may have a shot at it. If not, then you need to relize you must first grow up, and see that when you do have your own place, your boss will be telling you what to do, you will have little or no maney for the things you want to do. Then will come a time that you have kids and guess what? They will frustrate you and want away from you the same if not worse than you are doing now. Good luck!
