legal age to leave home?

[uscchic01]

What is the legal age to move from your legal guardian's house to another family member's house?

[William Lan]

A young person who has attained the "age of discretion" (14 years for a boy, 16 years for a girl) who has left home, cannot be forced to return home against their wishes. Despite this, a young person may be prevented from leaving home by a court order if that child is "at risk" from someone outside the family home. Therefore, there is no absolute right to leave home under 17 years of age. Whether a child should be returned home will depend on the facts of the situation.

The legal age to move from your legal guardian's house is 18 but some children are able to be legally emancipated from their paretns at an earlier age so they leave their parent's house befroe 18 years but this has to be approved by a judge's order.

If it is on a voluntary basis, in many cases, you can not leave the house without the consent of a parent or guardian when you are 16 until you have proof that you are able to financially support themselves and not in danger.

if you are well matured & attend the puberty you can leave the home and i hope the minimum age is some 16 approx..
