Can You Legally Move Out at 16 Without Parental Consent?

In most states, a 16-year-old cannot legally move out without parental consent.

Some states allow 16-year-olds to petition the court for emancipation, which would allow them to live independently.

Emancipation requires the minor to prove that they can support themselves financially and make responsible decisions.

Even if a minor is emancipated, they may still be subject to certain restrictions, such as curfews and limitations on where they can live.

It is important for minors to understand the legal implications of moving out before making any decisions.
