It's 16. You can also get married without parents consent at 16. At 16 the police can't get involved & bring the person back & they don't have to be in a safe environment or being looked after by another adult as you are considered able to look after yourself.

the legal age of majority is different for each country and in USA for each state. 4 the UK it is 18 unless by consent it is 16. so if u r 16 and you want 2 leave home u must have parental permission. if parent/guardian refuse the police can become involved. c 'age of legal majority' on web. good luck. ps, u can leave home without the permission of your parents at 18.

Depends on the country but in the UK I think it is 18. The best thing is to talk things through with your parents. Resolve your differences and get them to "allow" you to leave or to give you more freedom if that is what you are after. Most parents want the best for their kids and they are not being obstructive for no reason. In cases of abuse you can go to the authorities and they will get a court order against your parents and they will look at any proposed new home to see if that is suitable.

In Minnesota it is not "legal" to leave the care of your caretaker until you are 18. In some cases you can be emancipated; in this case you have to prove to the judge that you are responsible, have a job, and are able to care for yourself on your own without help from county or state resources (ie welfare, section8). Most of the time, as I have seen, these kids are holding down a full time job, have stayed in school, have a plan for college, and have not had run-ins with the law.

Generally 18 in the U.S. Minors can be removed from the home and placed elsewhere in cases of abuse, neglect, or crimedoing by the parents.
But if "responsible adults" other than the parents are housing a minor with no legal reason for the minor to be removed from home, then that "responsible adult" can be charged with harboring a minor without parental consent.

Depends on where you live, usually 16. Most places that are 18 usually don't put up much of a fight if you are self dependent and responsible. Another option is legal emancipation, which can be done when you can prove to a judge that you can take care of yourself and are cognizant of your own action
