I AM An expert in this field even though i am only 16 the legal age to move out is 18 in some states however it is 17 but in order to move out you have to have your parents consent
IF YOU ARE BEING NEGLECTED CONTACT ME I WILL POINT YOU IN THE RIGHT WAY IF YOU ARE BEING NEGLECTED OR PHYSICALLY ABUSED IN ANYWAY THAT CALLS FOR LEGAL ACTION AND CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES MUST BE INVOLED if you are not you have to stick it out until you are 18 and able to move out legally DONT HESITATE TO REPOST AGAIN IF YOU ARE NEGLECTED YOU CAN RECIEVE HELP

The legal age to move out depends on the state. For example, in Texas, it's 17. As long as you can support yourself financially, have a stable environment to live in, you keep attending school, have a means of transportation, and let your guardian know where you are at and that you're safe, the police cannot force you to go back to your guardians house.
