Nope - not in North Carolina.
In North Carolina you need to be 18-years-old unless you have some sort of court order or parental permission.

Are you allowed to move out when you are 17 in the state of North Carolina??

In NC you can with your parents consent...if you do not have your parents consent, then you must file emancipation against your parents before the court of law. you then must convince a judge that you can settle your own affairs and take care of yourself (even if you do move in with someone else). You must show the judge that you can take care of yourself, regardless if you're moving in with somebody else. So it would be best if you did have a job and a vehicle of your own.

To move out of your house before 18 years of age you need to be Amancipated. That is where you go to court and prove to a judge that you can take care of yourself. You have to have a job, still be going to school, a roof over your head, and licenses. If you can prove that to a judge he/she will sign a piece of paper and so will your parents. You cant still stay at home with your parents after that but you can do a lot of stuff that 18 year olds can do.

Why would you want to unless you are rebellious to rules that everyone must learn to live with. Seems to me that all some kids today want to do is hang out with their boy or girlfriends and act like they are adults when in reality they are still too young to make decisions like this that will affect them the rest of their life. Think about it...if you do everything now at age 14, 15, 16 then what is there left to experience later on when you do meet the right person who you will want to spend the rest of your life with. Anything that you do other than just enjoying going to school and having good clean fun is going to be with you for life. It follows you around and you can't go back and undo it...Some things are so bad that some people can't live with it and the after affects cause them to be miserable the rest of their lives. For instance a girl gets pregnant, still in school, her boyfriend doesn't want to marry her, she can't get a job and her parents aren't the kind who want to raise another baby. What can she do? What would you do? Babies are the one who suffer because you didn't want to go to school and to have fun with a group of decent people and have rules that teach you how to cope with life in jobs, family and other situations that we all have to go through.Wait to grow up and enjoy your youth and take time to enjoy yourself and when you are older you can do all the things you want to do and enjoy it the rest of your life without all the baggage that goes along with being rebellious. Good luck to all you 16 year olds. Hope to see you in a few years to see who was wise in their choices or those who weren't...
