How can a 17 year old female legally move out of her parents house?

Answer 1

Dude, please. I'm sorry to say this, but you've got 2 scenarios: One: Your parents have a really good reason to not let you out. Maybe you got a problem or something, but i dont think parents wont let their kids out when they are old enough. You should respect their wishes in this case, and if you dont think you have a problem, talk it out with them. Two: Well, if the previous paragraph didn't help.... Your parents are freakishly obsessive! Damn! Just run away, because if they dont have a reason to do something like this.... Their not worth your time. Sorry to break it to you..... Good luck brother BurnSheepy First and foremost, the minimum age of majority in any state is 18, in Nebraska and Alabama it is 19 in Mississippi and Pennsylvania it is 21. Parents are legally and financially responsible for their child until said person reaches the state legal age. No intelligent individual knowing they can be placed in financial and legal jeopardy would allow a minor to simply leave the family home. Some states allow for early emancipation if the minor qualifies under the specified requirements of the law(s). Consulting the laws of your state of residency pertaining to emancipation; (sometimes referred to as "Relief of Disability of Age of a Minor" or something similar) can provide you with more specific information.

Answer 2

It very much depends on the legislation of the country where you live.

Such legislation varies enormously. Many countries have none, in others it may be decreed when you have reached your majority. Usually 18 to 21 years old in many cases. It would be advisable to take local legal advice.
