Answer 1

Quoting Illinois Emancipation Law
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sec. 7. Petition.

The petition for emancipation shall be verified and shall set forth: (1) the age of the minor; (2) that the minor is a resident of Illinois at the time of the filing of the petition, or owns real estate in Illinois, or has an interest or is a party in any case pending in Illinois; (3) the cause for which the minor seeks to obtain partial or complete emancipation; (4) the names of the minor's parents, and the address, if living; (5) the names and addresses of any guardians or custodians appointed for the minor; (6) that the minor is (i) a mature minor who has demonstrated the ability and capacity to manage his own affairs or (ii) a homeless minor who is located in this State; and (7) that the minor has lived wholly or partially independent of his parents or guardian. If the minor seeks emancipation as a homeless minor, the petition shall also set forth the name of the youth transitional housing program that is willing and able to provide services and shelter or housing to the minor, the address of the program, and the name and phone number of the contact person at the program. The petition shall also briefly assert the reason that the services and shelter or housing to be offered are appropriate and necessary for the well‑being of the homeless minor.

Sec. 9. Hearing on petition.

(a) Mature minor. Before proceeding to a hearing on the petition for emancipation of a mature minor the court shall advise all persons present of the nature of the proceedings, and their rights and responsibilities if an order of emancipation should be entered.

If, after the hearing, the court determines that the minor is a mature minor who is of sound mind and has the capacity and maturity to manage his own affairs including his finances, and that the best interests of the minor and his family will be promoted by declaring the minor an emancipated minor, the court shall enter a finding that the minor is an emancipated minor within the meaning of this Act, or that the mature minor is partially emancipated with such limitations as the court by order deems appropriate. No order of complete or partial emancipation may be entered under this Act if there is any objection by the minor, his parents or guardian.

(b) Homeless minor. Upon the verified petition of a homeless minor, the court shall immediately grant partial emancipation for the sole purpose of allowing the homeless minor to consent to the receipt of services and shelter or housing provided by the youth transitional housing program named in the petition and to other services that the youth transitional housing program may arrange by referral. The court may require that a youth transitional housing program employee appear before the court at the time of the filing of the petition and may inquire into the facts asserted in the petition. No other hearing shall be scheduled in the case of a petition affecting a homeless minor, unless, after notice, a parent or guardian requests such a hearing. If such a hearing is requested, then the homeless minor must be present at the hearing. After the granting of partial emancipation to a homeless youth, if the youth transitional housing program determines that its facility and services are no longer appropriate for the minor or that another program is more appropriate for the minor, the program shall notify the court and the court, after a hearing, may modify its order.

17-Year-Olds Moving Out in IL

The legal age of majority in Illinois is eighteen (18) so under most circumstances a 17-year-old cannot move out of the house without parental permission.

Here is more input and advice:

* Generally, no. The age of majority is 18. That's when you're considered a legal adult and you can make all your own decisions. In some cases a minor can be legally emancipated. You would want to contact a family lawyer in Illinois to ask about this. Otherwise you can't leave home without the consent of your parent or guardian until you are 18-years-old.

* Not legally. The age of majority for the state is 18. What consequences might result from a minor arbitrarily leaving the family home would depend upon the action the parents or guardian chose to take. Authorities seldom intervene in situation pertaining to a minor who is atleast 17-years-old unless said minor becomes involved in a criminal act or is found living in an unsafe or unsuitable environment.

* I grew up in Chicago IL. You are supposed to be 18 years old to be on your own, usually the police will leave you alone if you have proper ID. If you stay out of trouble and are not caught doing anything Ilegal you should be OK, but getting your own apartment you might be able to to get one if you look old enough and have proof of employment,like a recent pay stub. You will have to look in less disirable neighborhoods for an apartment. Because most require references. If you have a friend to move in with you should be OK, but like I said you can't get into trouble or do anything to get your friend into trouble.

* What actions, if any, would be taken against a 17-year-old who moves out depends upon the parents. They would have the option of filing an absentee minor report(used when the location of the minor is known) or a missing person or "runaway"(if the location of the person is unknown. The majority of law enforcement departments do not have resources to track down every underaged person that leaves against parental wishes. That is why the parents would have to file a report, then petition the court for a requisition order to have the minor returned to their custody, or in some cases the minor would be remanded to a juvenile facility.

* If it is a case of neglect or abuse the person can contact social services to find ways to remedy the situation. This often results in the teen being placed in a willing relative's or group home, until the person is of legal age.

* A minor believing themselves to be in a situation of abuse and/or neglect should contact the state Department of Children and Family Services,in Illinois the numbers are, Hotline number 1-800-25-ABUSE or 217-524-2606. Other options National Child Abuse Hotline [phone] or general information and assistance 1-800-422-4453. The minor might also consider Teenline Online, an organization staffed by teens to assist other underaged persons to find assistance and solutions for their problems,http://www.teenlineonline.org One should always keep in mind that phone and internet usage can be monitored.

* Persons who are at least the age of 16-years may file a petition under the Emancipation of Mature Minors Act 750 ICLS Chapter 30.
