Answer #1

You must either be the ‘Age of Majority’: The age when a person acquires all the rights and responsibilities of being an adult. In most states, the age is 18 or have an approved ‘Order of Emancipation’ from the Court: When a minor has achieved independence from his or her parents, often by getting married before reaching age 18 or by becoming fully self-supporting.

Answer #2

Technically you are your parents responsibility until you are 18. I’m going through the same thing to an extent, except I am 24 moving out for the first time, and of legal age to do so. Take my advice… live at home as long as you can, it’s a lot cheaper than moving out! I’m moving out because it’s time I do so!
