You can move out anytime. You do not have any rights until the time that you are emancipated. This can be achieved anytime just by appeal. HOWEVER, the state does not have to grant your emancipation and if it is at all possible, you should try to work things out with parents because the world is harsh. Good luck.

LEGAL age: The age at which a person is responsible for his/her own actions (including the capacity to enter into a contract which is enforceable by the other party), for damages for negligence or intentional wrongs without a parent being liable and for punishment as an adult for a crime.
In almost all states the basic The legal age is 18, which is the universal American voting age under the 26th Amendment to the Constitution, ratified in 1971. Until you are 18, you can't sign legal documents for housing or for much of anything for that matter.
The national legal age for drinking or buying alcoholic beverages is 21.
Marriage with or without parental consent, driving, prosecution for crimes, the right to choose an abortion and liability for damages vary from state to state.
Here's some more information you might find helpful.... although I hope and pray that you aren't in a situation where you are being abused......
Termination of Birth Parents' Rights
Every State and the District of Columbia have statutes providing for the termination of parental rights. Termination of parental rights ends the legal parent-child relationship. Once the relationship has been terminated, the child is legally free to be placed for adoption with the objective of securing a more stable, permanent family environment that can meet the child's long-term parenting needs.
Grounds for Termination of Rights
Some States spell out factors that constitute grounds for termination of parental rights. Other States use general language. The most common statutory grounds for involuntary termination of parental rights include:
Severe or chronic abuse or neglect;
Abuse or neglect of other children in the household;
Abandonment;
Long-term mental illness or deficiency of the parent(s);
Long-term alcohol or drug-induced incapacity of the parent(s);
Failure to support or maintain contact with the child.
Another common ground for termination is a felony conviction of the parent(s) for a crime of violence against the child or other family member, or a conviction for any felony when the term of conviction is such a length as to have a negative impact on the child and the only available provision of care for the child is foster care.
Child's Best Interests
Most States consider a child's best interest in termination proceedings. In some States, statutes use general language mandating that the child's health and safety be paramount in all proceedings, while other States' legislation lists specific factors that must be considered, such as the child's age; the physical, mental, emotional and moral well-being; cultural and attachment issues; as well as the child's reasonable preferences.

I don't know that there is a legal age to "move out" I think 18 is when you are cosidered your own guardian. Moving out is up to you and your parents. I left home when I was 17 so it can be done. Just remeber that once you leave coming back is admiting defeat. Be strong and stay there if it can benefit you in any way..Like going to college )
