You are being emotionally and physically abused

the answer is no, you just can't move because you want to, you are a minor and they are still responsible for you. If there is a good reason you need to move, then go talk to legal aid, it's free and they will help you if you really have a good reason for wanting out.

No, you can't just pack up and move out, they'll report you as a runaway, and you'll go into some form of juvenile detention. If you're being abused, then you need to contact a trusted adult, and get help or call child protective services in your area. But you better be careful that you're not just ticked off at your parents, who are not allowing you to do whatever you think you should do, because once that ball gets rolling, it's very hard to stop it, and you could wind up being forcibly removed from your parents, and sent to live with a foster family. They wouldn't send you to a relative, unless the relative was a licensed foster family. So before you make this claim, make sure it's the honest to God's truth, because there are some serious, heavy duty ramifications to making the abuse claim, especially falsely.

no you cant. the reason is because your parents are still your legal guardians. if you wanted to move out on your own you would have to get emancipated. this involves going to court and showing that you are mature and capable of paying your own bills and having a steady job. it is very rare for minors to get emancipated. if you wanted to move in with a different relative, go to a lawyer or social services, explain your situation. odds are that after the first time visiting, nothing much will happen because there have been no prior reports. they will look into your home situation. it will take a while until you would legally be able to move out. just be careful because if you leave without your parents knowing, they can file you as a runaway and you could get in serious trouble, possibly juvie.

if you would have given the name of your state it would have made it easier to try and gain the information that you seek but guess how many states there are in the USA? that's how many laws, I can't think of any 2 states that have the same laws governing this, many states allow you to divorce your parents also, but more is needed than your word against theirs, they have a lifetime history to fall back upon, you don't because you have not lived long enough to gain one, something else to think about, the grass is NOT greener on the other side watch out what you ask for....you might must get it
