Answer #1

Hi,

The age of majority (legal age you can move out) in Kentucky is 18.

Unless you are legally emancipated (a judge rules that you are no longer a dependent of your parents), you need to be 18 before you can move out without your parents’ permission.

To obtain emancipation, you must prove that you can support yourself financially and get an approval from a judge. Then you legally can not ask your parents for any financial support.
