text: A child (anyone under the age of 18) cannot just move out from their parent(s) home. The parent(s) are responsible for the child till that child reaches 18. You can leave your parents' house without their permission when you reach the age of 18, or they can kick you out. \n\nYou cannot leave before you reach 18, although there are a few exceptions. \n\nExceptions to this rule: \n\n\nIf a child gets pregnant, that child can get married without parental consent and after the marriage will be consider emancipated. \n\nThe teen can become emancipated. There is no prescribed emancipation status laws, such cases are adjudicated on an individual basis. This requires a ruling from a judge. You must convince the judge that there is good legal reason for you to be able to leave your home. In the state of Georgia on an annual basis this happens about a dozen times. \n\nThe teen can join the military with parental consent at age 17.
