How old do I have to be before I can move out my parents house?

Question

I live in Texas I'm 16yrs. old right now. I want to know if I can move out when I turn 17 because I live in a very violent home and I just want to get out.

Answer 1

in illinois its 17,  I hope this helps....call an attorney for a question and just let them know you want to stay anonymous.

Answer 2

If you want to live with relatives, then you can do that now. But if you're talking about going out on your own where your parents can't legally stop you, then you have to be 18 years old.  

Answer 3

you  have to be old enough to have a good full time job so you are able to pay all of your bills, buy food, car, insurance, lights etc etc etc.

trust me you are not near old enough yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

don't be in such a hurry, it's no fun out there!!!

Answer 4

hey sweetie....i live in texas too and you can move out with your parents permission at 17 but without it's 18...my daughter is moving out too at 17 ( not because of a bad home life ) and we have checked into it.  do you have family you can stay with??? if not you can come live with us...good luck
