can I move out at 16 and live with friend in Lansing Michigan
Legally, you'd have to check the laws in your state:
My understanding: Legally, you must be the 'age of majority' for your state (usually 18) or become emancipated:
Emancipation refers to the point at which a child is free from parental control.
Emancipation may be the result of a voluntary agreement between the parents and child, or it may be implied from their acts and ongoing conduct. For example, a child who leaves her parents' home and becomes ENTIRELY SELF-SUPPORTING without their objection is considered emancipated, while a child who goes to stay with a friend or relative and gets a part-time job is not. Emancipation may also occur when a minor child marries or enters the military.
In order to become emancipated you must be able to answer the above questions and be self supporting which means: - Have a job - Live in home or apartment - pay bills
Contact the Court office or a Professional Attorney in your immediate area for further assistance.
I wish you the best !!
You'll have to get a parent's permission to do that. But if you really want to go, and they don't let you... You'll have to be emancipated which I don't suggest. Since they couldn't have possibly done anything that wrong to you from the sounds of it.
Well I moved out when I just turned 15 because of family problems in the house but dunno depends on the situation
I should hope soo I want to do it with my boyfriend and settle down as he is old lol best of luck
if your parent say you can because you are 18 yet so it all depends what your parents say
Only with your parents permission
