Can I move out at age 16 in North Carolina?

walk out the front door

I was wondering. When I trun 16 which is pretty soon. If I get a job. Can I move out an go live with my boyfriend an his father??

to Eggo listen I am one of those teenagers that “grew up to fast” or whatever but some of us didn’t have a choice I was 6 years old learning to take care of a new born baby (it was my moms) but yet I treated him just as if he were mine and sure I had to grow up too fast and never hung out with people my age because im always too mature for them and here you are classifing people the good kids the bad kids and everything else like you know them and you’ve lived on both sides and you havent sure I understand you to some point but I also understand what it feels like knowing that your mother hates you and you’ve never done anything to her except help her but yet your still the one getting laptops busted over your head or getting choked or slapped around or even getting cussed out on a daily basis it still hurts and makes you feel unwanted you sound like you have all the answers when really you’re only figuring one side of the relationship not everyone that leaves ends up pregnant or out on the streets

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…

Iunderstand what eggos talking about!! but I also understand what the others are talkn about… I have been phisically abused and verbally abused.. I am 16 I have been thrw a lot in those years my family has no money and my dad is a pill popper my mom is the most amazing women in the world. I have thought about moving out a milion times but in the end I realize that its best for me to stay I have a little sister I have to worry about I want to make sure gets a education and a job before I leave… id rather go threw everything I go threw then to watch my sister fail in life.. I will do everything in my power to make sure that happens :/!!!

I’m sixteen. Can I move out and go live with my boyfreind. I got a job. My boyfreind got a job.I’m still in school.I’m making good grade in school.

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.

umm im answering to eggo’s opion, hey im 18 years old I moved out when I was 16 cause my dad was abusive you know he picked me up by my kneck and threw me across the room, smacked me in the face, and all that good stuff, now my girlfreind turns 16 in about 5 in a half months! and her parents are mentally sycho! and were in love I been with girls I’ve had fun when I was 16 and up and now relize I have to think about the future! and then I met my girlfreind were madly in love! and she wants to move in with me and my mom. now what ure sayin is ure opion. you know she can still be a teen and do all that fun stuff, all because she moves out of her sychopathic parents does not change anything. so ure answer really dampers our situation! now until ure in that situation? like we are? then you dont know or have know clue about a 16 year old movin out! and all that good stuff you said! Thank you,

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

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.
