Until you are a legal adult, your parents have the final word about where you can live. You aren't a legal adult until you are age 18 in the United States. Unless you have their permission, you can't move out until your 18th birthday.
There is an exception, however. Several states allow those under 18 to petition the court for legal emancipation. Under this law, if the young person can prove that they would be better off living on their own and away from the parents, the court can deem the person an adult even though he/she is not yet 18. It's not an easy process. The young person has to prove that this is in their best interest, that they have the maturity to be considered an adult, and that they can financially support themselves. They have to be able to support themselves totally on their own, food, shelter, and all other expenses. The court will expect them to be able to afford shelter on their own, not with a roommate. Since most young people cannot do this, most cases of emancipation are denied by the court.

Nationally 18 is considered the age of adulthood. Through the court system one can be emancipated at an earlier age, perhaps 16.

Depends on your state but the military will take you at 18. Then you are out of mum and dads house.

It depends on what state you live in. You could be as young as 15 if you get married to someone that is 18 or older with your parents permission, or you could get emancipated. You need to check your state laws. Otherwise it is 18.

Usually 18. Bt if you move out earlier and can prove to Child Welfare that you had valid reasons for doing so such as abuse, neglect, parents unable to care for you, they will leave you alone after the age of 16 providing you prove that you can care for yourself.

Well it depends on a couple of things.
1. The states laws on emancipation.
2. Your religious beliefs.
3. Your parents want to keep you are not.
4. You ability to take care of yourself.
