Can teens move out at 16?

I wouldnt advise it I mean, why would you want to just for the sake of it? im nearly 19 and have a job, a car, but I still live at home, obvz I wont forever but I didnt see the rush in moving out at all

I know its not a good idea. I’m 18 and I’m still not ready to move out. There are so many responsibilities that you obviously don’t know about, or you wouldn’t even consider it at 16. Theres nothing wrong with taking a role in your own home where you are right now, start buying your own groceries and stuff if you want a new responsibility.

Yea and it’s usually not a good idea. Don’t grow up to fast.

Legally, you must be the ‘age of majority’ for your state (usually 18) or become emancipated:

Emancipation refers to the point at which a child is free from parental control.

Emancipation may be the result of a voluntary agreement between the parents and child, or it may be implied from their acts and ongoing conduct. For example, a child who leaves her parents’ home and becomes ENTIRELY SELF-SUPPORTING without their objection is considered emancipated, while a child who goes to stay with a friend or relative and gets a part-time job is not. Emancipation may also occur when a minor child marries or enters the military.

In order to become emancipated you must be able to answer the above questions and be self supporting which means:

• Have a job
• Live in home or apartment
• pay bills
